Drill Operation (Fig. A)

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY,
ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or clamped firmly. If
drilling thin material, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent
damage to the material.
1. Turn the collar 3 to the drill symbol.
2. Select the desired speed/torque range using the
gear shifter to match the speed and torque to the
4
planned operation.
3. For Wood, use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or hole
saws. For Metal, use high‑speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are
cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
4. 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.
5. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of the drill. If model is not equipped with side handle,
grip drill with one hand on the handle and one hand on the
battery pack.

CAUTION: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a sudden
twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill firmly to control the
twisting action and avoid injury.
6. 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 On anD OFF In an aTTEMPT TO
sTaRT a sTaLLED DRILL — THIs can DaMaGE THE DRILL.
7. To minimise stalling or breaking through the material, reduce
pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last fractional part
of the hole.
8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a
drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
9. With variable speed drills there is no need to centre punch
the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole and
