LED Work Light (Fig. A)
WARNING: Do not place the light in a position
which may cause anyone to intentionally or
unintentionally stare into the light. Serious eye
injury couldresult.
There is an LED worklight
5
located above the trigger
switch
1
. The worklight is activated when the trigger switch
is depressed, and will automatically turn off approximately
20 seconds after the trigger switch is released. If the trigger
switch remains depressed, the worklight will remainon.
NOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as aflashlight.
Drilling (Fig. J)
NOTICE: If drilling thin material, use a wood “back-
up” block to prevent damage to the material.
WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill
firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
• Select the desired speed/torque range using the speed
selector
4
to match the speed and torque to the
planned operation. Turn the collar
3
to the drill symbol.
NOTE: If drilling thin material, use a wood “backup”
block to prevent damage to the material
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
General Power Tool Safety Warnings.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the General Power Tool Safety Warnings.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
General Power Tool Safety Warnings.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the
hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping
out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much
as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the
handle, and the other gripping the bottom around the
battery area or the auxillary handle if provided.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF
AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE
DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a
drilled hole. This will help reducejamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in Wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits
used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be
sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to
clear chips from the flutes.
Drilling in Metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The
cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil
or lard oil.
Drilling in Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section.
Keep even force on the drill but not so much that you crack
the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates
the proper drilling rate.
