General Maintenance - Craftsman 315.114852 Operator's Manual

METAL DR(LLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
metal or steel drilling.
== Select normal drilling mode.
== 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. Applying too much pressure
will:
• Overheat the drill;
• Wear the bearings;
• Bend or burn bits; and
• Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil
to improve drilling action and increase bit life.

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.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be

BATTERIES
This product will accept DieHard<_19.2 V lithium-ion bat-
tery packs and Craftsman 19.2 V nickel-cadmium battery
packs.
The batteries for this product have been designed to provide
maximum trouble-free life. However, like all batteries, they will
eventually wear out. Do not disassemble battery pack and
attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries,
especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a
serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the
following:
For lithium=ion batteries:
== Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is
fully charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
== Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°F and away from moisture.
• Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
For nickel=cadmium batteries:
• Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is
fully charged and ready for use.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below
80°R
• Store battery packs in a "discharged" condition.
