7. Tips for using drills/drivers:
- If the tool becomes too hot, operate it without any load
at maximum rotation for a few minutes to cool down the
motor and the equipment housing;
- Avoid working for a long time at low speeds;
- Always make sure that the work piece is firmly clamped,
avoiding any movement;
- When the work is done, let the tool run without any load
for a short period of time in order to loosen any dust and
dirt stuck to the bit and tool;
- For metal drilling, we recommend using high-speed
steel (HSS) bits with perfect sharpening.
- When you need to fasten long or high diameter screws,
we recommend prior drilling with the thread core
diameter up to approximately 2/3 of the screw length.

Instruction Manual
- When you need to make a high diameter hole, we
recommend starting to drill with a small diameter bit,
then widen the hole with the proper diameter bit. This
avoids overloading the tool's motor.
