*When driving wood screws, predrill pilot
holes to make driving easier and to pre-
vent splitting of the workpiece. See the
chart.

*If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the
tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
Drilling operation
First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer on the tool body points to the
B
marking.
Then proceed as follows.
*Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide
screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.
To
prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a center-
punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the indentation
and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
