WARNING! Only change gear when the drill is not turning.
the required speed will depend on the material and task in hand. the following may be used as a general guide.
a) low speeds are recommended for hard materials i.e. stone, ceramic, concrete, high tensile steel and tasks such as starting
holes without centre punch, driving screws, mixing paint etc.
b) medium speeds are suitable for plastics and laminates.
c) High speeds recommended for soft materials such as wood, aluminium, copper, bronze and brass.
CAUTION: DO NOT run your drill at low to medium speeds for extended periods of time as this may cause drill to overheat.
To cool drill run it without a load for approximately 3 minutes at full speed.
3.2.7.
Direction of rotation. select either forward or reverse rotation using the lever mounted directly above the trigger. (see figs.6 & 7) the
lever flicks from left to right. select reverse by moving the lever to the 'L' symbol (sd800) or the symbol (sd1000). to select the
forward direction flick the lever to the other side to be adjacent to the 'R' symbol (sd800) or the symbol (sd1000).
CAUTION: Do not change direction of rotation whilst the drill is running.
3.2.8. Selection of hammer action / drilling. When using a masonry drill bit the hammer action
can be used to assist penetration into concrete, stone and masonry.
the hammer action selector is a large sliding 'switch' situated on top of the drill
(see figs.4 & 5). to select hammer action slide the selector to the left so that it is adjacent
to the hammer symbol moulded on the side of the case. to disable the hammer action
slide the switch in the other direction to be adjacent to the drill symbol moulded on the
other side of the casing.
3.3.
DRILL OR TOOL BIT FITTING.
WARNING! Unplug from the mains power supply
before placing bit into chuck.
open or close the chuck jaws to a point where the opening
is slightly larger than the drill or tool bit to be used. raise
the front of the drill slightly to stop the bit from falling out
of the chuck jaws. Insert the drill bit (A) into the chuck as far as
it will go. Place the chuck key (11) in one of the chuck holes
and tighten the chuck securely (fig 3).
3.4.
DEPTh STOP GAUGE.
ensure the work piece has a flat surface and is wide enough for the gauge to butt up
against when the required depth has been reached. measure back from tip of the drill bit
to the point at which the drill must stop. release clamp/handle and extend the depth
gauge to the point at which you wish to stop the drill penetrating further and retighten the
handle/clamp. once drill has reached the correct depth the gauge will butt up against the
work piece and stop further inward progress.
3.5.
STANDARD DRILLING INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING! Ensure you wear approved safety goggles and any other safety items
required for the job. Remove the chuck key before using the drill and ensure the
trigger button lock is not locked in position which would result in accidental
starting of the drill. Also ensure that all other safety requirements in chapter 1 are
followed.
3.5.1. If the material to be drilled is free standing it should be secured in a vice or with clamps to
keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
3.5.2. When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. oil will
prolong life of bit and improve the drilling action.
3.5.3. for hard smooth surfaces use a centre punch to mark desired hole location. this will
prevent bit from slipping as your start to drill.
3.5.4. Plug drill into mains power supply.
3.5.5. Hold tool firmly and place the bit tip to the point to be drilled.
3.5.6. depress the trigger to start drill. move the drill bit into the work piece applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting.
DO NOT force or apply side pressure which will elongate the hole.
3.5.7. A pilot hole may be necessary to assist the final drill size through the work piece. lock a
pilot drill (smaller size drill than the finished hole size) into the chuck. drill a pilot hole in the
middle of the centre punch mark where final hole is to be drilled. Insert the final sized bit.
Hold drill firmly and place the bit at the entrance of the pilot hole and depress the trigger.
WARNING! be prepared for drill binding or break through. When these situations
occur the drill has a tendency to grab and kick in the opposite direction and could
cause loss of control. If you are not prepared, this loss of control can result in
possible damage and/or personal injury
3.5.8. If the bit jams in the work piece or if the drill stalls, release the trigger switch immediately.
remove the bit from the work piece and determine the reason for jamming.
3.5.9. the depth gauge may be used to pre-determine the depth of hole (see 3.4).
3.5.10. After working for a lengthy period of time at low speed setting run drill for approximately 3
minutes with no load at the highest speed.
3.5.11. When job is complete unplug drill from the mains, remove the drill bit and store accordingly.
3.6.
Work complete.
WARNING! drill bits become very hot during use. Allow to cool or hold with a
cloth for removal.
When you have finished working, unplug from the mains power supply, remove the bit
from the chuck, clean drill and store in a safe dry childproof area.
