NOTICE: This drill/driver
is equipped
with an electric
brake. When the brake is
functioning
properly, sparks
may be visible through
the vent slots in the housing.
This is normal and results from the action of the brake.
WOOD DRILLING
For maximum
performance,
use wood-boring
brad- point drill bits (available
separately)
or brad-point
bits (available separately)
for wood drilling.
1.
When drilling "through"
holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece
to prevent ragged or splintered
edges on the back side of the hole.
2.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping
off the
starting
point.
3.
Increase speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
METAL
DRILLING
For maximum
performance,
use high speed steel bits (available separately)
for
metal or steel drilling.
1.
When drilling metals, use light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating.
The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.
2.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping
off the
starting
point.
3.
Set drill speed to LO and maintain a speed and pressure which allow cutting
without
overheating
the bit. Applying
too much pressure will:
•
Overheat the drill/driver
•
Wear the bearings
•
Bend or burn bits
•
Produce off-center
or irregularly shaped
holes
