WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, check work area for hidden pipes and wires before
drilling or driving screws.
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and Plastic
When drilling in wood, composition materials and plastic, select the
drill-only operating mode. Start the
drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood augers or twist drill bits.
Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to clear chips from the bit
fl utes. To reduce the chance of splintering, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Select
low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, select the
drill-only operating mode. Use high speed steel twist drills or hole saws.
Use a center punch to start the hole. Lubricate drill bits with cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel. Use a coolant
when drilling in nonferrous metals such as copper, brass or aluminum. Back the material to prevent binding and
distortion on breakthrough.
Drilling in Masonry
When drilling in masonry, select the
hammer drill operating mode. Use high speed carbide-tipped bits.
Drilling soft masonry materials such as cinder block requires little pressure. Hard materials like concrete require
more pressure. A smooth, even fl ow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate. Do not let the bit
spin in the hole without cutting. Do not use water to settle dust or to cool bit. Both actions will damage the
carbide.
Driving Screws and Nut Running
Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or hard materials. Select the
driving screws mode. Set the
torque selector collar to the proper position and set the speed to low. Use the proper style and size screwdriver
bit for the type of screw you are using. With the screwdriver bit in the screw, place the tip of the screw on the
workpiece and apply fi rm pressure before pulling the trigger. Screws can be removed
by reversing the motor.
Overloading
Continuous overloading may cause permanent damage to tool or battery pack.
