OPERATION
Switches
SINGLE SPEED (%" & %" Drills Nos. 7010, 7110)
To start Drill, depress trigger switch; to stop Drill, release trigger. To lock trigger in "ON" position for
continuous operation, or when using Drill in a Vertical or Horizontal Stand, depress trigger and push in
locking button (located behind the trigger), then gently release trigger. To release locking mechanism,
depress trigger fully, then release it.
2-SPEED SWITCH (VT Drill No, 7011)
Operation is the same as above except that when the trigger is depressed past the halfway point in its
travel, the motor speed changes from low to high. This change is audible. Use low speed for drilling in
METAL, PLASTICS OR CERAMICS. High speed is better for drilling WOOD and for using ABRASIVE and
POLISHING ACCESSORIES.
VARIABLE SPEED (*4" & %" Drills Nos. 7020, 7120)
(a) For normal operations, rotate the Variable Speed Locking Button clockwise until it stops. This
permits "FREE HAND" speed control — the farther the trigger is depressed, the higher the R.P.M. (b) To
set the trigger switch to produce a selected speed each time it is squeezed, first rotate the Variable
Speed Locking Button clockwise until it stops. Fully depress trigger, and with the Drill running at highest
R.P.M., press in the Switch Locking Button. Release trigger and the tool will stay "ON." Now, rotate the
Variable Speed Locking Button counterclockwise and you will notice a decrease in R.P.M. Continue
rotating Button until desired speed is obtained. To turn Drill "OFF," squeeze trigger and release. At
this setting, the Drill will run at selected speed each time the trigger is pulled; and, the trigger may be
locked "ON" at the selected speed with the Switch Locking Button. Also, if the trigger is gradually
depressed, speed will first be slow and then increase up to selected speed, (c) Use lower speeds for
STARTING HOLES WITHOUT A CENTER PUNCH, DRILLING IN METAL OR PLASTICS, DRIVING SCREWS,
DRILLING CERAMICS. Higher speeds are better for DRILLING WOOD AND COMPOSITION BOARDS, AND
FOR USING ABRASIVE AND POLISHING ACCESSORIES.
CAUTION - ALL SWITCHES:
Be sure to release the switch locking button before disconnecting the plug from the power supply.
Failure to do so will cause the tool to start immediately the next time it is plugged in. Damage or
injury could occur.
Drilling
1. Always unplug the Drill when attaching or changing bits or accessories.
2. Use sharp drill bits only. For WOOD, use twist drill bits, spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws.
For METAL, use high-speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws. For MASONRY, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use carbide-tipped bits.
3. Be sure the material to be drilled is anchored or clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood
"back-up" block to prevent damage to the material.
4. Center-punch an indentation at the point to be drilled. This will overcome the tendency of the bit to
slip around on a smooth surface. Place the tip of the bit in the indentation and turn motor "ON".
5. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep drill biting, but
do not push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
6. Be sure to brace yourself against the twisting action of the drill.
7. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER
IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL-THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL
* 8. To minimize stalling on breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of the hole.
9. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
