Drilling operation
First, set the action mode changing lever so that the
pointer points to to the
mark is for low speed rotation and the
high. The adjusting ring can be aligned in any torque
levels for this operation. Then proceed as follows.
Before operation, always make sure that the lever is
correctly set to your desired mode mark and use the tool
at an appropriate speed for your work.
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 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 force exerted on the tool/bit
•
at the time of hole break through. 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.
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.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
•
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Replacing carbon brushes
006258
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove two screws then remove
the rear cover.
006259
Raise the arm part of the spring and then place it in the
recessed part of the housing with a slotted bit
screwdriver of slender shaft or the like.
