Installing or removing drill bit

Hold the ring and turn the sleeve counterclockwise to open

Hold the ring firmly and turn the sleeve clockwise to tighten
the chuck.
To remove the bit, hold the ring and turn the sleeve counter-
clockwise.

OPERATION

Drilling operation

Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw
makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.

Drilling in metal

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make
an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point
to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indentation and
start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.

CAUTION:

Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the
drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to
damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool
performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on the tool/
bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the tool firmly
and exert care when the bit begins to break through the
workpiece.

A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the
reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out.
However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not
hold it firmly.

Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-
down device.

Avoid drilling in material that you suspect contains
hidden nails or other things that may cause the bit to
bind or break.
