Neilsen CT0700, Instruction Manual

Page: 12 / 16

NOTE: Drilling at a slow drilling speed for
an extended period of time may cause the
drill motor to overheat. If the drill gets hot,
stop drilling and allow it to cool for at
least 15 minutes.
INSTALLING BITS
Never hold the chuck body with one hand
and use the drill power to rotate the drill
body to loosen or tighten bits. You may
severely injure your hand.
DRILLING
When drilling in smooth hard surfaces such
as metal, use a centre punch to mark the
desired hole location. This will prevent the
drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is
started.
The work piece to be drilled should be
secured in a vise or with clamps to keep it
from turning as the drill bit rotates (see fig 11)
Fig 11
Check drill bit to make sure it is firmly locked
into the drill chuck.
1. 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 or
Handle if one is in place.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
Be prepared for binding and bit
breakthrough. When these situations
occur, the drill bit has the 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. If you
are not prepared, this loss of control can
result in possible serious injury.
