Controls
It is important to understand the functions of the various
controls. Please see below how and when to use the on/
off switch, speed control, speed pre-selector, forward/
reverse control and the drill / hammer selector.
Familiarise yourself with these controls before first use
of your new drill.
On/off switch
1. Turn the drill on by depressing the trigger.
FIG. C
To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch.
2.
The tool can be locked on by first depressing the
trigger switch and then pressing the lock-on button
3. Once the lock-on button has been engaged the
switch will remain locked on.
4. To turn the tool off, press and release the trigger
switch.
Speed control
1. The speed can be varied according to the pressure
applied to the trigger switch. The harder you squeeze,
the faster the rotation from zero up to a preset
maximum.
Forward/reverse lever
1. The direction of rotation of the chuck is controlled by
the forward/reverse lever located above the trigger
switch.
FIG. D
2. For forward rotation: move the lever to the left
3. For reverse rotation: move the lever to the right
Note:
Do not change the direction of rotation while the
chuck is still in motion.
Adjusting between hammer and
drill mode of operation
1. Move the mode selector to the left (hammer icon) to
select the hammer mode
FIG. E
2. Move the mode selector to the right (drill bit icon) to
select the drill mode.
Note:
When drilling in hammer mode, carbide tipped
drill bits should be used and the drill must be set to
rotate in the forward rotation.
Inserting a bit
1. Disconnect the drill from the mains supply.
2. Twist the chuck sleeve to open the jaws slightly larger
than the diameter of the bit you are inserting
3.
Insert the drill bit up to its flutes making sure it is
centred in the jaws.
4. Tighten the chuck by turning the chuck sleeve
FIG. F
5. Once the jaws have clamped evenly around the drill
bit, use the chuck key to tighten the chuck securely.
6. Always tighten the chuck using all three holes. This
will ensure a firm grip on the accessory.
7. Occasionally check the tightness of the chuck during
drilling as it may vibrate loose.
8. Reconnect the drill to the supply, switch on and check
that the bit runs true and does not wobble indicating
that it is not sitting square. Adjust if necessary after
again disconnecting the tool from the power supply.
Removing a bit
1. Disconnect the drill from the power supply
2. Use the chuck key to loosen the chuck
3. Remove the bit
Note.
Use gloves to handle drill bits and other sharp
accessories. Also be aware that drill bits can be very hot
after even a short period of use.
Drilling in all materials
1. Always use sharp drill bits
2. Mark the place where the hole is to be drilled
3. Commence with a slow speed to start the hole then
increase the speed once the hole has been started
4. Reduce your pressure on the tool when the drill bit is
about to break though the material.
Drilling in metal
1. Move the mode selector to the right (drill bit icon) to
select the drill mode.
2. Support thin material on a scrap piece of wood
3. Use a punch to mark the position of the hole. Careful
use of the variable speed feature allows you to start
holes without centre punching. Operate the drill at a
low speed until you start the hole.
4.
If drilling a large hole use a small drill bit at first to
establish a pilot hole then use the required large
sized drill bit.
5. Use only HSS (High speed steel) drill bits or those
recommended for metal use.
6. When drilling into iron or steel, use a cooling
lubricant such as thin oil
7.
With aluminium, use turpentine or paraffin
8. With brass, copper and cast iron, use no lubricant but
withdraw the drill regularly to assist cooling.
