Drilling in Wood
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure to the tool. Holes in wood can be
made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the
flutes. For larger holes, use low speed wood bits. Work that is likely to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.
Drilling in Metal
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow
of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron
and brass which should be drilled dry.
NOTE:
Large (7.94mm to 12.7mm; 5/16" to 1/2") holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (3.97mm to 4.76mm;
5/32" to 3/16") is drilled first.
Drilling in Masonry
(TOOLS WITHOUT A HAMMER FEATURE)
Use carbide tipped bits rated for percussion drilling and be certain that the bit is sharp. Use a constant and firm force on
the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Operation as a Hammerdrill
Some models have the Hammerdrill feature. To utilize the hammer feature of your tool, rotate the collar to align the ham-
mer symbol with the arrow shown in Figure 3. The hammering position is for hammer drilling in soft concrete and
masonry such as brick, mortar and soft ceramics.
1. When drilling, use just enough force on the hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or “rising” off the bit. Too
much force will cause slower drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drilling rate.
2. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as this
will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
3. When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with the tool
still running to help clear debris from the hole.
4. Do not pour water into the hole to settle dust. Water causes clogging of bit flutes which will tend to make the bit
bind in the hole.
Operation as a Screwdriver
Select the desired speed/torque range using the 3 speed gear shift lever on the top of tool to match the speed and
torque to the planned operation. Insert the desired fastener accessory into the chuck as you would any drill bit. Set the
torque adjustment collar (Fig. 3). Make a few practice runs in scrap or unseen areas to determine the proper position of
the clutch collar.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
CAUTION:
With the motor running, blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at least once a week. Wear
safety glasses when performing this. Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Although these parts are highly solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents.
CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the exte-
rior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water or any cleaning solutions.
Repairs
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection and
replacement) should be performed by certified service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using
identical replacement parts.
