DRILLING -
cont’d
1. Check drill bit to make sure it is firmly
locked into the drill chuck and the
forward/reverse switch is in the
forward position.
2. Set torque clutch to highest setting.
3. Hold the drill firmly with both hands
whenever possible. Use one hand to
grasp the handle and switch and the
other to grasp the body of the drill.
NOTE:
Make sure the hand placed on
the body of the drill does not cover the
air vents. Covering these air vents will
reduce the motor cooling and possibly
lead to overheating the motor.
4. While holding the drill firmly, place the
point of the drill bit at the point to be
drilled. Depress the switch trigger to
start the drill.
NOTE:
Always use a higher drill
speed when drilling small holes. Use a
slower drill speed when drilling large
holes.
5. Move the drill bit into the workpiece
applying only enough pressure to
keep the bit cutting. Do not force the
drill bit or apply sideways pressure to
elongate the hole.
WARNING:
Be prepared for
binding and bit breakthrough. When
these situations occur, the drill bit has a
tendency to grab the workpiece. This
action will kick the drill opposite to the
direction of drill bit rotation and could
cause loss of control when breaking
through material as you complete
drilling the hole.
