Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with
a
guide
screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece.
To
prevent the bit from slipping when starting
a
hole, make an indentation with
a
centerpunch and hammer a t the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the
indentation and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
Drilling in metal
CAUTION :
Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pres-
sure will only serve t o damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool performance and
shorten the service life of the tool.
There i s
a
tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit a t the time of hole breakthrough.
Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece.
* A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch t o reverse rotation in
order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold
it
firmly.
Always secure small workpieces in
a vise or
similar hold-down device.
Overload pytector
The overload protector automatically cuts out to break the circuit whenever heavy work
is
prolonged. Wait 20 -30 seconds before resuming operation.
