WARNING: For your own safety,
always push the switch “OFF”

Drilling to a Specific Depth
To drill a blind hole (not all the way
through) to a given depth, proceed as fol-
lows.
1. Mark the depth of the hole on the work-
piece.
2. Loosen the depth scale lock.
3. With the switch OFF, bring the drill bit
down until the tip of lips of the bit are
even with the mark.
4. Turn the depth scale counterclockwise
until it stops moving.
5. Tighten the depth scale lock.
6. The drill bit will stop at this depth until
the depth scale is readjusted.
Another Way - Depth Scale
1. With the power off, loosen the depth
scale lock.
2. Place workpiece on table. Adjust table
until the tip of the drill bit is just a little
above the top of the workpiece, turn the
depth scale counterclockwise to zero.
3. Turn the depth scale clockwise until the
depth scale indicator points to the
desired drilling depth on the depth scale.
4. Tighten the depth scale lock.
5. The chuck or drill will now be stopped
after traveling downward the distance
selected on the depth scale.
