Caution:
Ensure that you have selected the required rotation of the chuck before
commencing operation. (clockwise / anti-clockwise).
Ensure the drill/screwdriver bit has been installed correctly. The bit must be
placed firmly on the work piece before the drill is switched on otherwise
damage to the work piece and/or drill/screwdriver bit may result.
There is considerable force exerted on the tool and drill bit at the time of
hole break through. Be sure to hold the tool firmly. Slow the speed of the
drill and take care when the bit begins to break through.
Pressing down excessively on the tool will not result in faster operation.
Excessive pressure will only dull the bit and shorten tool life.
For best results and safe use of this tool it is recommended that the work
piece should be clamped securely to a work bench.
Only use sharp drill bits. Blunt bits will cause unnecessary load on the drill
and could cause the motor to burn out.
Always commence drilling at low speed.
Always ensure you are using the correct bit for the application.
To prevent splintering on the underside of the work piece, place an
additional piece of wood under the material being drilled and then proceed
to drill the hole through both pieces.
Non-ferrous materials such as thin sheet metal are difficult to drill. For precise
drilling, place a piece of wood under the material being drilled and then
proceed to drill the hole through both pieces.
The manufacturer recommends that the tool always be supplied via a
residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
