CAUTION:
•
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns
to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool
speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch
trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch

Reversing switch action

► 1. Reversing switch lever
This tool has a reversing switch to change the direc-
tion of rotation. Move the reversing switch lever
to the
the
position (B side) for counterclockwise rotation.
CAUTION:
•
Always check the direction of rotation before
operation.
•
Use the reversing switch only after the tool
comes to a complete stop. Changing the direc-
tion of rotation before the tool stops may dam-
age the tool.
Holding the tool
Hold the tool only by the handle when performing an
operation.
Drilling operation
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 excep-
tions 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.
•
Always secure small workpieces in a vise or
similar hold-down device.
