Installing/removing bits and drills
8.3.1
Installing bits/drills
Lock the switch trigger by placing the direction of rotation selector in centre position.
Open or close chuck jaws to a point where the opening is slightly larger than the bit size you
intend to use. Also, raise the front of the drill slightly to keep the bit from falling out of the
chuck jaws. Insert drill bit straight into chuck the full length of the jaws as shown in. Tighten
the chuck jaws on the drill bit.
WARNING: Make sure to insert drill bit straight into chuck jaws.
Do not insert drill bit into chuck jaws at an angle, this could cause drill bit to be thrown from
drill resulting in possible serious personal injury or damage to the chuck.
8.3.2

General hints for drilling
8.4.1
Drilling in all materials
Always use sharp drill bits. Mark the place where you would like the hole to be drilled.
Commence with a slow speed to start the hole. Reduce your pressure on the drill when the
drill bit is about to break through the material.
8.4.2
Metal drilling
Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood. Use a center punch to mark the position of
the hole. If drilling a large hole, use a small size drill bit first to establish a pilot hole then use
the required large size drill bit. Use only HSS (High Speed Steel) drill bits or those
recommended for metal use. When drilling into iron or steel, use no lubricant but withdraw the
drill regularly to assist cooling.
8.4.3
Wood drilling
Mark the place where you want to drill with a punch or a nail. To avoid splintering on
breakthrough, either clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back of your work piece or continue
the hole from the back of the wood when the drill bit first breaks through.
