Milwaukee Tool M18 FUEL 1/2" Hammer Drill/Driver Operators Manual - Page 4

Drilling in Wood, Composition Materials and Plastic When drilling in wood, composition materials and plastic, select the drill-only operating mode. Start the drill slowly, gradually increasing speed as you drill. When drilling into wood, use wood augers or twist drill bits. Always use sharp bits. When using twist drill bits, pull the bit out of the hole frequently to clear chips from the bit flutes. To reduce the chance of splintering, back work with a piece of scrap wood. Select low speeds for plastics with a low melting point. Drilling in Metal When drilling in metal, select the drill-only operating mode. Use high speed steel twist drills or hole saws. Use a center punch to start the hole. Lubricate drill bits with cutting oil when drilling in iron or steel. Use a coolant when drilling in nonferrous metals such as copper, brass or aluminum. Back the material to prevent binding and distortion on breakthrough. Drilling in Masonry When drilling in masonry, select the hammer drill operating mode. Use high speed carbide-tipped bits. Drilling soft masonry materials such as cinder block requires little pressure. Hard materials like concrete require more pressure. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate. Do not let the bit spin in the hole without cutting. Do not use water to settle dust or to cool bit. Both actions will damage the carbide. Driving Screws and Nut Running Drill a pilot hole when driving screws into thick or hard materials. Set the torque selector collar to the proper position and set the speed to low. Use the proper style and size screwdriver bit for the type of screw you are using. With the screwdriver bit in the screw, place the tip of the screw on the workpiece and apply firm pressure before pulling the trigger. Screws can be removed by reversing the motor. Overloading Continuous overloading may cause permanent damage to tool or battery pack.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES RELATIVES AUX OUTILS ÉLECTRIQUES AVERTISSEMENT Lire toutes les consignes de sécurité, consignes, illustrations et spécifications fournies avec cet outil électrique. Ne pas suivre l'ensemble des règles et instructions peut entraîner une électrocution, un incendie ou des blessures graves. Conserver les règles et les instructions à des fins de référence ultérieure. Le terme «outil électrique» figurant dans les avertissements ci-dessous renvoie à l'outil élec- trique à alimentation par le réseau (à cordon) ou par batterie (sans fil). SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL •Veillez à ce que l'aire de travail soit propre et bien éclairée. Le désordre et le manque de lumière favorisent les accidents. •Ne pas utiliser d'outils électriques dans des atmosphères explosives, par exemple en présence de liquides, gaz ou poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles risquant d'enflammer les poussières ou vapeurs. •S'assurer que les enfants et les curieux se trouvent à une bonne distance au moment d'utiliser un outil électrique. Les distractions peuvent causer une perte de contrôle. SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE •Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise secteur utilisée. Ne jamais modifier la fiche, de quelque façon que ce soit. Ne jamais utiliser d'adaptateurs de fiche avec des outils mis à la terre. Les fiches et prises non modifiées réduisent le risque de choc électrique. •Éviter tout contact avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est accru lorsque le corps est mis à la terre. •Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à l'eau ou l'humidité. La pénétration d'eau dans ces outils accroît le risque de choc électrique. •Ne pas maltraiter le cordon d'alimentation. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon d'alimentation pour transporter l'outil électrique et ne jamais débrancher ce dernier en tirant sur le cordon. Garder le cordon à l'écart de la chaleur, de l'huile, des objets tranchants et des pièces en mouvement. Un cordon endommagé ou emmêlé accroît le risque de choc électrique. •Pour les travaux à l'extérieur, utiliser un cordon spécialement conçu à cet effet. Utiliser un cordon conçu pour l'usage extérieur réduit les risques de choc électrique. •Si l'utilisation d'un outil électrique est inévitable dans un endroit humide, utiliser une source d'alimentation munie d'un disjoncteur de fuite de terre. L'utilisation d'un disjoncteur de fuite de terre réduit le risque de choc électrique. SÉCURITÉ INDIVIDUELLE •Rester attentif, prêter attention au travail et faire preuve de bon sens lors de l'utilisation de tout outil électrique. Ne pas utiliser cet appareil en cas de fatigue ou sous l'influence de l'alcool, de drogues ou de médicaments. Un moment d'inattention pendant l'utilisation d'un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures graves. 7
