General hints for drilling
Always make sure that the torque adjustment ring is set to “drill” position.
8.5.1
Drilling in all materials
Always use sharp drill bits. Mark the place where you would like the hole to be drilled.
Commence with a slow speed to start the hole. Reduce your pressure on the drill when the
drill bit is about to break through the material.
8.5.2
Metal drilling
Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood. Use a center punch to mark the position of
the hole. If drilling a large hole, use a small size drill bit first to establish a pilot hole then use
the required large size drill bit. Use only HSS (High Speed Steel) drill bits or those
recommended for metal use. When drilling into iron or steel, use no lubricant but withdraw the
drill regularly to assist cooling.
