GENERAL DRILLING TECHNIQUE
• After drilling material to the full depth, maintain chuck rotation to ease drill
withdrawal.
• Keep drill bits sharpened for optimum performance.
• Always drill directly in line with the bit. Do not use sideways movement as
this may damage the drill or cause the bit to break.
• Always use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals except for brass and
cast iron which should be drilled dry.
• If the drill is not cutting the metal then sharpen the drill bits, ensuring the
various cutting angles are correct.
MAINTENANCE
Before commencing any maintenance procedures, always ensure the drill is
isolated from the electrical supply by switching off and removing the plug
from the socket.
BEFORE USE
1. Ensure all fixing screws remain tight to ensure the drill is in safe working
condition.
