OPERATION

Installing side grip (auxiliary handle)
003037
Always use the side grip to ensure operating safety. Install
the side grip so that the teeth on the grip fit in between the
protrusions on the tool barrel.
Then tighten the grip by turning clockwise at the desired
position. It may be swung 360° so as to be secured at any
position.
Installing or removing drill bit
003047
To install the bit, place it in the chuck as far as it will go.
Tighten the chuck by hand. Place the chuck key in each of
the three holes and tighten clockwise. Be sure to tighten all
three chuck holes evenly.
To remove the bit, turn the chuck key counterclockwise in just
1
one hole, then loosen the chuck by hand.
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.
