DRILL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. When mounting the drill bit or driver bit, insert it fully into
the drill chuck and completely tighten the drill chuck with
the chuck wrench.
If mounting is not done properly, it is very dangerous as
the drill bit may slip or loosen during operation.
2. Do not wear gloves made of stuff liable to roll up such as
cotton, wool, cloth or string, etc.

APPLICATIONS
1. Drilling various materials
○ Drilling metal
Use a metal-working drill bit
○ Drilling wood
Use a wood-working drill bit (However, a metal-
working drill bit to make pilot holes for wood screws
or holes smaller than 6.5 mm.)
2. Tightening wood screws (Only model FD10VB)
Use the driver bit. Use a Phillips screw for easy
tightening.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If the
plug is connected to a receptacle while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating
immediately, inviting serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power source.
Use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. Check the tightening of the drill chuck
The drill chuck has been tightened at the factory, but
check again that it is in order before use.
Turn the drill chuck clockwise to tighten.
HOW TO USE
1. Operation of switch
Pulling the trigger of switch and push the stopper, it
keeps, the switched-on condition and it is convenient for
the continuous running. When switched off , the stopper
can be disconnected by means of pulling the trigger
again.
3. Do not touch the bit during or immediately after operation.
The bit becomes very hot during operation and could
cause serious burns.
4. When placing the drill on the fl oor, make sure that the drill
has stopped completely.
5. Before drilling into a wall, fl oor or ceiling, thoroughly
confi rm that no items such as electric cables or conduits
are buried inside.
6. When working in high position, take care of downward
direction.

2. Adjustment of speed
[FD10SB]
The maximum speed can be obtained by pulling the
trigger switch.
[FD10VB]
(1) The speed is adjustable from zero to maximum speed
according to the extent the trigger switch is pulled.
(2) The maximum speed is adjustable from zero to 2800/
min. with the rotation of adjusting knob.
(3) Turn the adjusting knob clockwise for higher speed and
counterclockwise for lower speed. (Rotate the adjusting
knob approximately 1-2/3 turns.) (Fig. 1)
(4) The switch can be locked with the stopper at any required
position irrespective as to how far the adjusting knob has
been rotated. Select a proper position according to the
required speed for each work.
3. Confi rm the direction of bit rotation (Fig. 2)
The bit rotates clockwise (viewed from the rear
side) by pushing the R-side of the reversing switch
lever. The L-side of the lever is pushed to turn the bit
counterclockwise.
CAUTION
Never change the direction of bit rotation during
operating.
Turn the power switch OFF before changing the direction
of bit rotation.
4. For use as a drill
(1) Mounting drill bit
Tighten drill bit with the chuck wrench. There are three
holes in which the chuck wrench should be inserted.
Tighten them equally in turn at three holes, without
tightening them only at one hole. The drill bit can be
removed in the opposite method as mentioned above.
(Fig. 3)
(2) How to drill
1 To use for drilling lumber
○ Apply the point of the drill bit to the desired drilling
position, hold the drill perpendicular to the workpiece
surface and turn on the switch.
○ When drilling a through hole in lumber, remove the drill
from the material as soon as the tip of the drill bit protrudes
from the opposite surface. Then, turn the workpiece over
and complete the drilling from the opposite side to obtain
a clean hole. (Fig. 4)
