ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION

APPLICATIONS

Boring holes in metal, wood and plastic.

PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power source requirements
specified on the product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the switch is in the OFF position. If the plug is connected to a receptacle while
the switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start operating immediately and can
cause serious injury.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient
thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
4. Check the receptacle
If the receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be repaired. Contact
a licensed electrician to make appropriate repairs.
If such a fautly receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
5. Check your work environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
6. Selecting the appropriate drill bit:
When boring metal or plastic
Use an ordinary metalworking drill bit.
When boring wood
Use an ordinary woodworking drill bit.
However, when drilling 1/4" (6.5 mm) or smaller holes, use a metalworking drill bit.
WARNING:
Damaged cord must be replaced or repaired.
