OPERATION

Drilling operation

Drilling in wood

When drilling in wood, the 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.

Drilling in metal

To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make

an indentation with a center-punch and hammer at 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.

CAUTION:

• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the

drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to

damage the tip of your bit, decrease the tool

performance and shorten the service life of the tool.

• There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on the tool/

bit at 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 to 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.

• Avoid drilling in material that you suspect contains

hidden nails or other things that may cause the bit to

bind or break.
