The following guidelines may be used In determln-
in_gcorrect speed for various applications:
L(_W speed is ideal when minimum speed and power
is required. For example: starting holes without
center punching, mixing paint, and drilti_g in
ceramics.
MEDIUM speed is suitable for drilling hard metals,
plastics, and laminates,
HIGH speed produces best results when maximum
bower is requLred. For example: drilling in wood; soft
metals such as aluminum, brass, and copper, and
when using ddvlng accessories.
