Switching ON and OFF (fig. A)
• To run the tool, press the variable speed switch (1).
The pressure exerted on the variable speed
switch determines the tool speed.
• To stop the tool, release the switch.
• To lock the tool in OFF-position, move the
forward/reverse slider (2) to the central position.
The drill is equipped with a brake to stop
the tool as soon as the variable speed
switch is fully released.
Drilling in metal
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals.
The exceptions are cast iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
Drilling in wood
• Holes in wood can be made with the same twist
drills used for metal. These bits may overheat
unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from
the flutes.
• For larger holes use Auger bits.
• Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that
may splinter.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
