1. Reduce the pressure on the drill bit when it is about to break through. This will prevent the drill from jamming.
2. When drilling a large hole, first drill a pilot hole using a smaller drill bit.
3. Always apply pressure to your drill bit in a straight line, and if possible at right angles to the workpiece.
4. Never change the operating mode whilst the drill is running.
5. Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool when chiseling. Excessive force does not speed up the work.
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool.
Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all
working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not
damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
