4. SDE600 & SDE700 COMMON DRILLING INSTRUCTIONS
STANDARD DRILLING INSTRUCTIONS.
p WARNING! ensure you wear approved safety goggles and any other safety item required for the job. Remove the chuck key before
using the drill, and ensure the trigger lock on and hammer functions are disengaged. Also ensure that all other safety requirements
are followed.
4.1.
Ensure drill is unplugged from the mains power supply.
4.2.
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.
4.3.
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.
4.4.
For hard smooth surfaces use a centre punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent bit from slipping as your start to drill.
4.5.
Plug drill into mains power supply.
4.6.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit tip to the point to be drilled.
4.7.
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 to elongate the hole.
p 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 can result in possible damage
and personal injury.
4.8.
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, and drill a pilot hole. Insert the final sized bit.
Hold drill firmly and place the bit at the entrance of the pilot hole and depress the trigger.
4.9.
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.
4.10.
For continuous operation, press the switch lock on button in see 3.5.
4.11.
The depth gauge may be used to pre-determine the depth of hole see 3.3.
4.12.
After working for lengthy period of time at low speed, run drill for approximately 3 minutes with no load at the highest speed.
4.13.
When job is complete see 3.10.
4.8.
HAMMER DRILLING see 3.6.
4.9.
WORK COMPLETE
p 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, clean and
if necessary sharpen the tool bit and store in a safe dry childproof area.

SDE700 ONLY ADDITIONAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SEE CHAPTER 3 & 4 FOR GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. THE FOLLOWING BEING ADDITIONS FOR MODEL SDE700 ONLY.
5.1.
DRILL SPEED additional information.
5.1.1. For the SDE700 Low speeds are also used for driving screws, starting holes without a centre punch, mixing paint etc.
5.1.2. Medium speeds are suitable for plastics and laminates.
5.1.3. Your drill has a variable speed control on/off trigger (fig 5 item 11) which increases the speed the more
the trigger is depressed.
5.1.4. In addition the trigger has a variable speed control selector Incorporated (fig 5 item 16) designed to allow control
and adjustment of speed and torque limits. The speed and torque of your drill can be increased or decreased
by rotating the variable speed control selector in the direction of the arrows on the switch (-) decreases speed
and torque and (+) will increase speed and torque.
5.1.5. If you wish to pre-set and lock the trigger at a given speed, set selector (16) to the required speed, depress the trigger (11) fully and
press the trigger locking button (9). Release trigger and speed will drop to that pre-set. Note: if variable speed control selector is fully
turned in the low speed (-) direction your drill may not operate on some tasks as the torque will be set very low. To achieve such a low
speed performance you may have to use the variable trigger (11) only. Practicing variable speed adjustments. If you do not wish
to use variable speed control selector (16) turn the selector to full (+) speed, and control drill speeds by the trigger (11) only.
s 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.
5.2.
FORWARD & REVERSE SWITCHING.
The chuck rotation direction is controlled by the direction lever (fig 5 item 15). With drill held in normal operating position, the direction
lever must be positioned to the right of the on/off trigger (see symbol on drill body at side of lever marked FWD (forward) this is the
correct direction for normal drilling tasks. To reverse chuck rotation turn the lever to the left REV (reverse) position. The reverse
direction is used for unscrewing, for insertion of left hand threaded screws.
p WARNING! do not change direction whilst the drill is running. Release trigger and allow drill to stop before changing direction.
5.3.
AS A SCREW DRIVER.
5.3.1. To drive in a screw.
a) Lock appropriate tool bit in the chuck and set a slow speed. Check that the drill direction is correct.
b) Hold the drill carefully and proceed to screw in as necessary.
c) Be careful to ensure the drill bit does not slip off of the screw, especially if the screw is long.
d) Secure non stable work pieces with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device. DO NOT hold loose work pieces in your hand.
5.3.2. To remove screws place the chuck in reverse (see 5.2).
See part 3.2. for general speed information.
