DRILLING TIPS
1. If a large hole is needed, it’s a good idea to drill a smaller pilot hole before drilling the final one. Your hole will 
be more accurately positioned, rounder, and the bits will last longer.
2.  If the hole is deeper than it is wide, back off occasionally to clear the chips.
3. When drilling metal, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
4. Smaller drill bits require greater speed than large drill bits. Softer materials require greater speed than 
harder materials.
5. If drilling a through hole, make sure place a piece of backup material (wood, plywood, etc.) on the table 
underneath the workpiece to prevent splintering on the underside of the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
 WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based 
products, penetrating oils, etc, come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can 
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated 
wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and groundings are highly abrasive to 
bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for extended work on 
these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean 
the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION 
1.  Lower spindle to maximum depth and oil moderately once every three months.
2.  Oil the column lightly every two months.
