OPERATION
DRILLING METAL
There are two rules for drilling hard
materials. First, the harder the material,
the greater the pressure you need to
apply to the tool. Second, the harder the
material, the slower the speed you need to
operate the tool.
Here are a few tips for drilling in metal:
1. Lubricate the tip of the bit occasionally
with cutting oil except when drilling
soft metals such as aluminum, copper
or cast iron.
2. If the hole to be drilled is fairly large,
drill a smaller hole first, then enlarge
to the required size, it’s often faster in
the long run.
3. Maintain enough pressure to assure
that the bit does not just spin in the
hole. This will dull the bit and greatly
shorten its life.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty,
also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
To avoid personal
injury, always remove the battery pack
from the tool when cleaning or performing
any maintenance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning
plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible
to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let
brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. to come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage, weaken or destroy plastic
which may result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage. To ensure safety
and reliability, all repairs should be
performed by a qualified service
technician.
