Note:
ALWAYS read the documentation provided with drill bits and accessories for the
recommended or maximum speed setting and use the most appropriate gear. See ‘Specification’
for the maximum no load speed of each gear.
Switching on/off
WARNING: ALWAYS wear adequate personal protection equipment when setting up and operating
this machine.
1. To start the drill, squeeze the Trigger Switch (6)
2. The built-in Work Light (8) will illuminate when the Trigger Switch is squeezed
Note:
If the Trigger Switch cannot be pressed down, check that the Forward/Reverse Switch (5) is
not set to its middle position, which locks the device (see ‘Direction control’).
3. The speed of the drill is controlled by the movement of the trigger: the further the Trigger Switch
is pressed down, the faster the drill will run
4. Release the Trigger Switch to stop the machine
Screwdriver use
Note:
Always use a universal bit holder when working with screwdriver bits. Do not mount
screwdriver bits directly into the chuck
1. Select gear 1 using the Gear Switch (3)
2. Adjust the drill to the appropriate torque setting (see ‘Torque control’)
- When driving screws NEVER use the machine in drill mode
Note:
If in doubt which torque setting best suits the application, start with a low setting and
increase, should more torque be required (e.g. if the screw is not being driven far enough into the
work piece).
Drilling wood
1. Select the appropriate gear using the Gear Switch (3)
2. Rotate the Mode Selector (2) to the drill position
- Ensure that drill bits are suitable for wood, and are within the maximum capacity of this machine
(see ‘Specification’)
WARNING:
DO NOT inhale wood dust. Wear adequate breathing protection. Some wood dusts
may be toxic.
Drilling metal
1. Select the appropriate gear using the Gear Switch (3)
2. Rotate the Mode Selector (2) to the drill position
- Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and are within the maximum
capacity of the machine (see ‘Specification’)
- To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch
WARNING:
The drill bit and the work piece will become very hot when drilling metal. DO NOT
touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact with combustible materials when hot. Always
use a suitable lubricant or cutting fluid, and drill at appropriate speeds.
- ONLY apply moderate pressure to the drill bit, ensuring efficient cutting and prolonged drill bit life
