Drilling operation First, turn the adjusting ring so that the pointer points to the marking. Then proceed as follows. 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 drill bit into the workpiece. Drilling in metal To prevent the drill 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 drill 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 drill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool. CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the drill bit begins to break through the workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through. CAUTION: A stuck drill 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. CAUTION: Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device. CAUTION: If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery. Using the tool as a hand screwdriver NOTE: This use is convenient for checking the screwdriving. NOTE: Do not use the tool for work requiring excessive force, such as tightening bolt or removing rusted screws. Using holster Optional accessory CAUTION: When using the holster, remove a driver bit/drill bit from the tool. CAUTION: Turn off the tool and wait until it comes to a complete stop before placing it in the holster. Be sure to close the holster securely with the holster button so that it holds the tool firmly. 1. Thread a waist belt or similar through holster holder. 1 2 ► 1 . Holster holder 2. Waist belt 2.
