Before starting work

Before starting work, select the desired speed. This will depend on the diameter of the bit being
used and the material. Use the tables on the machine.
INFORMATION
The data of the speed tables are guide values. In some cases it may be advantageous to
increase or decrease these values.
A cooling or lubricating agent should be used when drilling.
The workpieces must always be clamped firmly and stably.
If required, adjust the desired drilling depth by means of the drilling depth stop in order to obtain
a uniform drilling depth.
Please make sure to use a suitable dust suction when treating wood since wood dust may be
health hazardous. Wear a suitable dust mask when performing works at which dust is gener-
ated.
WARNING!
Feed in of clothes and / or hair.
Make sure to wear well-fitting work during drilling work.
Do not use gloves.
If necessary, use a hairnet.
WARNING!
For drilling jobs, it is necessary to clamp the workpiece firmly to prevent the bit catching
on the pieces. A suitable clamping tool is a machine vice, clamping jaws, or a device for
clamping production parts.
