should be pushed to the left.
X
Move the forward/reverse button (4) pushed to the right
for removing screws.
Drilling
X
Use sharp drill bits only.
X
Support and secure the work properly.
X
Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the
hole is started.
X
Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough
pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much as to stall
the motor or deflect the bit.
X
Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting
action.
X
Do not click the trigger of a stalled drill on and off in an
attempt to start it. Damage to the drill can result.
X
Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
and drilling slowly through the last part of the hole.
X
Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a
drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
X
With variable speed drills there is no need to centre
punch the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start
the hole and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder
when the hole is deep enough to drill without the bit
skipping out. Operate at full speed after starting the bit.
Drilling wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used
for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and
should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips
from the flutes of the drill.
Drilling in metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The
cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or
lard oil.
