OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Drilling mode operation
FOR DRILLING IN WOOD, USE TWIST BITS, SPADE BITS, POWER AUGER BITS OR HOLE SAWS.
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. Select the desired speed to match the planned operation.
3. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off of the starting point, and then
increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
4. If the drill/driver stalls, it is usually because it is being overloaded. Release the trigger switch
immediately, remove the drill bit from the work, and determine the cause of stalling.
5. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of the drilled hole. This will prevent jamming.
FOR DRILLING IN METAL, USE HIGH SPEED STEEL TWIST DRILL BITS.
1. 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. When drilling a large hole, rst use a smaller bit to drill a small pilot hole to prevent the larger bit from
slipping.
3. Select the desired speed to match the planned operation.
4. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Maintain a speed
and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the bit.
5. If the drill stalls, it is usually because it is being overloaded. Release the trigger switch immediately,
remove the drill bit from the work, and determine the cause of stalling.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of the drilled hole. This will prevent jamming.
Screwdriver operation
1. Select the desired speed/torque range to match the planned operation.
2. Attach the desired fastener accessory into the chuck.
3. Make a few practice runs in a scrap piece before working.
