Troubleshooting - Black & Decker GCO182 Instruction Manual

• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through the
last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce
jamming.
• Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry. The lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or
lard oil.
• When using twist drill bits to drill holes in wood, it will be necessary to pull the bits out
frequently to clear chips from the flutes.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used for metal or with spade
bits. These bits should be sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to
clear chips from the flutes.
DRILLING IN METAL
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil
or lard oil.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section. Keep even force on the drill
but not so much that you crack the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates
the proper drilling rate.
Problem Possible Cause
