001695
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direction of
rotation. Move the reversing switch lever to the
(A side) for clockwise rotation or the
for counterclockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
Always check the direction of rotation before
•
operation.
Use the reversing switch only after the tool comes
•
to a complete stop. Changing the direction of
rotation before the tool stops may damage the tool.
Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the
workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole,
make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at
the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the
indentation and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
CAUTION:
Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up
•
the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only
serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the
tool performance and shorten the service life of the
tool.

firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break
through the workpiece.
Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar
•
hold-down device.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
