5. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of the drill.
6. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being overloaded
or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY,
remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling.
DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO
START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
7. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of the hole.
8. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of a
drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
Drilling in Metal
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of metal
chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting lubricant
when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass
which should be drilled dry.
nOTE: Large holes (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 13 mm]) in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm to
5 mm]) is drilled first.
nOTE: When using a cutting lubricant, be sure not to get the
lubricant on the tool.
Drilling in Wood
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. If nails are likely to be
encountered, appropriate drill bits capable of withstanding nail
strikes should be used. Work that is apt to splinter should be
backed up with a block of wood.
Hammerdrilling
IMPORTanT: Use carbide‑tipped or masonry bits rated for
percussion drilling only.
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the speed
selector
8
to match the speed and torque to the planned
operation. Turn the mode selection collar
hammerdrill symbol.
2. Pull the trigger, applying just enough pressure on the
hammer to keep it from bouncing excessively or "rising" off
the bit.
Recommendations for hammerdrilling
•
Too much force will cause slower drilling speeds,
overheating, and a lower drilling rate.
•
A smooth even flow of material indicates the proper
drilling rate.
•
Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work. Do
not exert side pressure on the bit when drillling as this will
cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower drilling speed.
•
When drilling deep holes, if the hammer speed starts to
drop off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool still
running to help clear debris from the hole.
