Hints for optimum use
Drilling
• Always apply a light pressure in a straight
line with the drill bit.
• Just before the drill tip breaks through
the other side of the workpiece, decrease
pressure on the tool.
• Use a block of wood to back up
workpieces that may splinter.
• Use spade bits when drilling large
diameter holes in wood.
• Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
• Use a lubricant when drilling metals other
than cast iron and brass.
• Make an indentation using a centre punch
at the centre of the hole to be drilled in
order to improve accuracy.
Screwdriving
• Always use the correct type and size of
screwdriver bit.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try
applying a small amount of washing liquid
or soap as a lubricant.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit
in a straight line with the screw.
