Maintenance; Protecting The Environment - DeWalt XR DCD444 Original Instructions Manual

EnGLIsh
DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO
START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a
drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
Drilling in Metal
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal
chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant
when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass,
which should be drilled dry.
nOTE: 7/16" (11 mm) holes in steel can be made easier if a pilot
hole [5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16" (5 mm)] is drilled first.
nOTE: When using a cutting lubricant, be sure not to get the
lubricant on the tool.
Drilling in Wood
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be
made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may
overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the
flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a
block of wood.
