OPERATING
THE
DRILL-DRIVER
See Figure 10.
Follow these steps to operate the drill-driver_
1.
Check the rotation selector for the correct setting,,
Refer to "CHANGING
THE BiT ROTATION"
earlier
in this manual.
2.
Secure the workpiece
in a vise or with clamps to
keep it from turning as the drltl bit rotates,
3.
Hold the drill-driver firmly and place the bit at the
point to be drilled.
4.
Depress the trigger switch to star the drill-driver.
5.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece
applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting.
Note; Do not force the drill-driveror apply side
pressure to elongate a hole. Let the drill-driver and
bit do the work,
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding or bit
breakthrough.
When these situations
occur, the
drill-driver has a tendency to grab and kick in the
opposite direction of the rotation and could cause
loss of control when breaking through material. If
you are not prepared,
this loss of control can result
in serious injury.
Observe these practices when drilling;
Ha When drilling hard, smooth surfaces,
use a center
punch to mark the desired hole location.
This action
prevents the bit from slipping off center as you start
the hole. Operate the drill-driver at a low speed until
the hole is started,
II
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the bit to
keep it from overheattng_ The oil will prolong the life
of the bit and increase the drilling actiom
HI
tt the bit jams In the workpiece
or if the drill.driver
stalls, release the trigger switch immediately,
Remove the bit from the workpieee and determine
the reason for jamming.
