APPLICATIONS
Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and
Plastic
When drilling in wood, composition materials and
plastic, select the drill operating mode. Start the drill
slowly, gradually increasing speed as you drill. Select
low speeds for plastics with a low melting point.
Drilling in Metal
When drilling in metal, select the drill operating mode.
Use high speed steel twist drills or hole saws. Use a
center punch to start the hole. Lubricate drill bits with
cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel. Use a coolant
when drilling in nonferrous metals such as copper,
brass or aluminum. Back the material to prevent
binding and distortion on breakthrough.
Drilling in Masonry
When drilling in masonry, select the rotary hammer
operating mode. Use high speed carbide-tipped
bits. Drilling soft masonry materials such as cinder
block requires little pressure. Hard materials like
concrete require more pressure. A smooth, even
fl ow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate. Do not
let the bit spin in the hole without cutting. Do not use
water to settle dust or to cool bit. Do not attempt to
drill through steel reinforcing rods. Both actions will
damage the carbide.

always unplug your tool before performing any
maintenance. Never disassemble the tool or try
to do any rewiring on the tool's electrical system.
Contact a service facility for ALL repairs.
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular
maintenance program. Before use, examine the gen-
eral condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches,
tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check
for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving
parts, improper mounting, broken parts and any
other condition that may affect its safe operation.
If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool
off immediately and have the problem corrected
before further use. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools "DO NOT USE" until repaired (see
"Repairs").
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not neces-
sary until the motor brushes need to be replaced. Af-

your tool to a service facility for the following:
• Lubrication

• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears,
spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
