EN
* Drilling hard smooth surfaces
When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark desired hole location. This will
prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the low speed
feature allows starting holes without center punching if desired. To accomplish this, simply
operate the drill at a low speed until the hole is started. The material to be drilled should be
secured in a vise or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates. Hold tool firmly
and place the bit at the point to be drilled. Move the drill bit into the work piece applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole.
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill has a tendency
to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and could cause loss of control when
breaking through material. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious
injury. hen drilling metals, use a 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. If the bit jams in work piece or the drill
stalls, release switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the work piece and determine
the reason for jamming.
6.8 LED light.
The white LED light on the front (above the battery pack) will light when you operate the
machine, providing the work area to be lighted.
