Screw Driving
1. Clamp your work piece.
2. Drill pilot holes for larger screws or when driving screws into hardwoods.
3. Exert enough pressure to start the screw and keep it turning. Do not force the screw.
Let the tool do the work.
4. Use a speed that will not strip the screw head or break the screw. Maintain your balance.
Metal Drilling
1. For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling.
2. Turn the Hammer/Drill Switch to drilling mode.
3. Secure the workpiece in place before operation.
4. Use a center punch to mark the hole location on the work piece.
5. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
6. Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the bit. Applying
too much pressure will overheat the drill, wear the bearing, bend or burn bits, produce
off-center or irregular shaped holes.
7. When drilling large holes in metal, it is recommended to drill with a small bit at first
Then finish with a larger bit. Also, lubricate the bit with oil to improve drilling action and
increase bit life.
Wood Drilling
1. For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling.
2. Turn the torque adjustment ring to a suitable setting under drilling mode.
3. Secure the work piece to prevent it from turning when drilling.
4. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.
5. When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the work piece to prevent
ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole.
6.Do not lock the trigger in the "on" position when the drill may need to be stopped suddenly.
