HORIZONTAL BUBBLE LEVEL
This drill/driver is equipped with a bubble level
to assist you in keeping the drill/driver "level"
while drilling horizontal holes.
The horizontal level (1) is located in the top of
the drill/driver housing (Fig. 10).
To maintain a horizontal drilling position, hold
the drill/driver so the horizontal level bubble (2)
is centered between the level indicator lines (3).
DRILLING
When drilling into smooth, hard surfaces such
as metal, use a center punch to mark the
desired hole location. This will prevent the drill
bit from slipping off center as the hole is started.
The workpiece to be drilled should be secured in
a vice or with clamps to keep it from turning as
the drill bit rotates (Fig. 11).
1.
Check the drill bit to make sure it is firmly
locked into the drill/driver chuck, and verify
that the forward/reverse switch is in the
forward position.
2.
Set the torque clutch to the drilling position.
3.
Hold the drill/driver firmly with both hands
whenever possible. Use one hand to grasp
the handle and switch.
NOTE:
Make sure the hand placed on the body
of the drill/driver does not cover the air vents.
Covering these air vents will reduce motor
cooling, and possibly lead to overheating the
motor.
4.
While holding the drill/driver firmly, place
the point of the drill bit at the point to be
drilled. Squeeze the switch trigger to start
the drill/driver.
NOTES:
Always use a higher drill speed when
drilling small holes. Use a slower drill speed
when drilling large holes.
5.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece
applying only enough pressure to keep the
bit cutting. Do not force the drill bit or apply
sideways pressure to elongate the hole.
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding and
bit breakthrough. When these situations
occur, the drill bit has a tendency to grab the
workpiece. This action will kick the
drill/driver opposite to the direction of the
drill bit rotation, and could cause loss of
control when breaking through material as
you complete drilling the hole. If you are not
prepared, this loss of control can result in
serious injury.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING
For safety reasons, the operator must read
the sections of this Owner’s Manual entitled
"GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS", "POWER
TOOL SAFETY", "SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES", "BATTERY & CHARGER SAFETY"
and "SYMBOLS" before using this cordless
drill.
Verify the following every time the cordless
drill is used:
1.
Safety glasses, safety goggles, or face
shield is being worn.
2.
Hearing protection is being worn.
3.
The chuck has not worked loose on the
spindle.
4.
The bit is in good condition and is
properly tightened onto the chuck.
Failure to observe these safety rules will
significantly increase the risk of injury.
