Warning
To reduce the risk of personal
injury and damage, never immerse your
tool, battery pack or charger in liquid or allow
a liquid to flow inside them.
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents.
Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or
grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain
cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics
and other insulated parts. Some of these include
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and house-
hold detergents containing ammonia. Never use
flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
mainTenance
Warning
To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the charger and remove
the battery pack from the charger or tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassem
-
ble the tool, battery pack or charger. Contact
a
service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tool
Keep your tool, battery pack and charger in good
repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
• Lubrication
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger, motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
Warning
To reduce the risk of explo
-
sion, electric shock and property damage,
always check the work area for hidden pipes
and wires before drilling.
Drilling
1. Before drilling, be sure the workpiece is clamped
securely. A poorly secured piece of material may
result in personal injury or inaccurate drilling.
Use backing material to prevent damage to the
workpiece during breakthrough. When drilling in
light gauge metal or wood, use a wooden block
to back up the material to prevent damage to the
workpiece.
2. When starting a hole, place the drill bit on the
work surface and apply firm pressure.
To start a selfeed bit, run the threaded feed
screw into the work by flicking the trigger switch,
permitting the bit to coast until the teeth contact
the work surface. Align the bit properly before
proceeding. This will reduce cocking and jam-
ming when starting.
When drilling in metal, mark the center of the hole
to be drilled with a center punch to give the bit a
start and to prevent it from "walking." Lubricate
the drill bit with cutting oil when drilling iron or
steel. Use a coolant when drilling nonferrous
metals such as copper, brass or aluminum.
3. Always apply pressure in line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep the drill biting, but do
not push hard enough to cause the bit to bind.
When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out fre-
quently to clear chips from the flutes.
When using selfeed bits, if the clutch slips, pull
the bit up very slightly and then push it toward
the workpiece. Repeat this several times.
4. Reduce pressure and ease the bit through the
last part of the hole. While the tool is still running,
pull the bit out of the hole to prevent jamming.
When using selfeed bits, decrease the drilling
pressure when the feed screw point breaks
through the workpiece. Proceed with steady,
even pressure.
