the drill symbol. In this position there
is no slip in the torque clutch.
Select a lower torque for insertion/
removal of screws to avoid damage
to the work-piece (in particular
wooden work-pieces) or to the
screw. For drilling select a higher
torque setting. Do a test first on an
item which is not your final work-
piece and adjust the desired torque
accordingly before you start the
actual work.
Operation for working
Only use tool bits which can be
securely fastened in the chuck and
for which the drill has been designed.
1. Drilling
Check whether the drill bit is correctly
inserted and tightly fastened before
you start the machine.
Use properly sharpened drill bits. At
the start of each drilling operation
select a lower speed. For large
holes drill with a smaller drill bit first
and then enlarge the hole using a
larger drill bit.
2. Drilling in Wood
For drilling in wood use a wood
drill-bit. Protect or fasten the work-
piece in a suitable holder. Mark the
positions of the holes to be drilled
with a sharp tool or a nail. Do not
apply excessive pressure against
the work-piece with the machine.
3. Drilling in Metal
For drilling in metal use a steel drill-
bit. Always provide sufficient cooling
with
suitable
coolants. Protect or fasten the work-
piece with a suitable holder. The
work-piece should lie flat on the
work bench. Mark the positions of
the holes to be drilled with a centre-
punch.
Do not apply excessive pressure
against the work-piece with the
machine. Allow the drill to operate at
its normal operating speed.
Important! At the start of drilling
select a lower speed to avoid the bit
slipping away from the desired hole
location. If the drill-hole is deep,
the drill-bit may become jammed in
the hole. In this event a high torque
could damage the drill bit or the drill.
If the bit becomes jammed, hold the
machine firmly and immediately
release the On/Off trigger. Switch
to anticlockwise rotation, and use
a low rotation speed to remove the
jammed drill bit more easily.
4. Drilling in Plastic
For drilling in plastic use a steel drill
and follow the same instructions as
for drilling in wood.
5. Drilling in ceramic mataríals
