Hints for optimum use

Drilling

Always apply a light pressure in a straight line
N
with the drill bit.
Just before the drill tip breaks through the
N
other side of the workpiece, decrease pressure
on the tool.
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces
N
that may splinter.
12
Use spade bits when drilling large diameter
N
holes in wood.
Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
N
Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.
N
Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than
N
cast iron and brass.
Make an indentation using a centre punch at
N
the centre of the hole to be drilled in order to
improve accuracy.

Screwdriving

Always use the correct type and size of
N
screwdriver bit.
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a
