Metal Drilling - Bort BAB-16x2Li-FDK Manual

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool . Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users .
• Maintain power tools . Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool's operation . If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use . Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools .
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control .
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc . in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed . Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intend-
ed could result in a hazardous situation .
Battery tool use and care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-
facturer . A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-
tery pack .
• Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-
tery packs . Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire .
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-
er metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another . Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire .
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact . If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water . If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help . Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns .
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts . This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained .
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SCREWDRIVERS
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool . Loss of
control can cause personal injury .
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord . Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead to explo-
sion . Penetrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock .
• Switch off the power tool immediately when the
tool insert jams . Be prepared for high reaction torque
that can cause kickback . The tool insert jams when:
– the power tool
– it becomes wedged in the workpiece .
• Hold the machine with a firm grip . High reaction torque
can briefly occur while driving in and loosening screws .
• When working with the machine, always hold it firmly
with both hands and provide for a secure stance . The pow-
er tool is guided more secure with both hands .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand .
• Do not open the battery . Danger of short-circuiting .
• Protect the battery against heat, e . g ., against continu-
ous intense sunlight, fire, water, and moisture . Danger of
explosion .
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-
pours may be emitted . Ventilate the area and seek medi-
cal help in case of complaints . The vapours can irritate the
respiratory system .
• Use the battery only in conjunction with your power
tool . This measure alone protects the battery against dan-
gerous overload .
• The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such
as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally . An
internal short circuit can occur and the battery can burn,
smoke, explode or overheat .
GENERAL HINTS FOR DRILLING
1. Drilling in all materials.
Always use sharp drill bits . Mark the place where you
would like the hole to be drilled . Commence with a slow
speed to start the hole . Reduce your pressure on the drill
when the drill bit is about to break through the material .

2. Metal drilling.

Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood . Use a
center punch to mark the position of the hole . If drilling a
large hole, use a small size drill bit first to establish a pilot
hole then use the required large size drill bit . Use only HSS
(High Speed Steel) drill bits or those recommended for
metal use . When drilling into iron or steel, use no lubricant
but withdraw the drill regularly to assist cooling .
3. Wood drilling.
Mark the place where you want to drill with a punch or
a nail . To avoid splintering on breakthrough, either clamp
a piece of scrap wood to the back of your work piece or
