• Hold the drill firmly with two hands to control its twisting
action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL
OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE
TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled
hole. This will help reduce jamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used
for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and
should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips
from the flutes.
Drilling in metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.
Drilling in masonry
For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the hammer drilling
position by aligning the symbol with the marking. Slide the
speed selector (5) towards the front of the tool (2nd gear).
SCREWDRIVING
• Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
• If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
• Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw
