Speed is controlled by the pressure to the switch trigger. The variable speed feature is particularly useful when starting drilling. It also enables you to

select the best speed for a particular application.

Start drilling

Start the tool by squeezing the variable speed trigger switch.

Release the trigger to stop the tool.

If you press the lock on button while the trigger switch is depressed, the switch is kept in the operating position. This is convenient when continuous

operating for extended periods of time is required.

To release the lock on button, press and release the trigger switch.

Hole drilling

When attempting to drill a large diameter hole, it is sometimes best to start with a smaller drill bit then work up to the required size.

This prevents overloading the drill.

WARNING! Many accidents occur because of unforeseeable situations. Please

pay attention that drilling-out a small hole may cause the drill bit to jam in the

hole, especially when drilling metal.

Remember to use a "wood-pecker" action on deep holes to allow the swarf to be ejected from the hole.

If the drill bit snags, swit

Try running the drill in reverse to remove the bit.

Keep the drill in line with the hole. Ideally, the drill bit should enter at right angles to the work. If the angle is changed during drilling, this could cause

the bit t

king the hole and perhaps causing injury.

Reduce pressure as the drill is about to break through the item being drilled.

Don't force the drill, let it work at its own pace.

Keep the drill bit sharp.

Drilling wood

For maximum performance when drilling larger holes, use auger bits or spade bits for wood drilling.

Set the tool to the drill mode.

Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit fr

When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the work piece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on the back of the hole.
