5. DRILLING
6. HELPFUL TIPS
FWD
Before starting to drill, perform a few simple checks.
3 Secure the material to be drilled in a vice or clamp to stop it
turning whilst drilling.
1 Depress and release the
variable speed trigger to
ensure it is not locked on.
5 Hold the drill firmly and
place the bit at the point to
be drilled.
2 Check the forward/reverse
lever is on desired setting.
6 Depress the variable speed
trigger to start the drill.
7 Move the drill bit into the workpiece.
Note:
Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate
the hole. Let the drill do all the work.
3 Drill into the material until the surface reaches the start of the tape..
1 Measure along the drill bit to
indicate the desired depth
2 Wrap a small piece of masking
tape tightly around the drill bit.
Torque Settings
Drilling to a Preset Depth
Torque settings can alter the depth to which you can drill or drive into
a surface. To determine the torque setting required to drive a screw
perfectly flush to the work surface, follow the below steps.
A simple way of achieving a hole at a desired depth is to use masking
tape.
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a centre punch to mark
the desired hole location. This measure will prevent the drill bit from
slipping off centre as you start the hole.
When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from
overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase drilling
action.
2 If the clutch rachets and
makes a clicking sound before
screw is flush, increase the
collar setting and continue
tightening.
1 Set the torque
collar to lowest
setting and tighten
the first screw.
3 Repeat until you
reach the correct
setting/ screw
depth. Use this
setting for the
remaining screws.
