NOTE
English
Hammer drilling mode can destroy the structure of the
machine when used for fastening or drilling without SDS
Plus bits.
Use bits only with hard metal and SDS Plus shaft only.
When hammer drilling, do not apply too much pressure.
4.5 DRILL MATERIALS
WOOD DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
wood drilling.
1. Operate the machine at a very low speed to prevent the
bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the speed
as the drill bit bites into the material.
2. When drilling through holes, put a piece of wood behind
the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on
the rear side of the hole.
METAL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
metal or steel drilling.
1. Operate the machine at a very low speed to prevent the
bit from slipping off the starting point.
2. Hold a speed and pressure which let cut without
overheating the bit. Apply too much pressure can:
Overheat the drill; Wear the bearings; Bend or burn bits;
and Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.
3. When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then complete with a large bit. Also, lubricate the bit with
oil to improve drilling action and increase bit life.
MASONRY DRLLING
For maximum performance, use carbide-tipped masonry
impact bits when drilling holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc..
1. Move adjustment button on hammer drill left for hammer
mode.
2. Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in
brick.
3. When drilling holes in tile, practice on a scrap piece to
find the best speed and pressure. Operate the machine at a
very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the
starting point.
5 MAINTENANCE
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
