More advice about drilling
1. We recommend to secure the workpiece to the workbench so that you achieve the best results and safely
operate the tool.
2. Use only sharpened drill bits. Blunt drill bits put an unnecessary load on the drill and may cause the motor to
burn.
3. Always ensure that you are using the correct working tool for the task being performed.
4. When performing high precision drilling it is best to use a drill bit with a guiding rod. Non-ferrous materials
like thin metal sheets are very diffi cult to drill. When performing high precision drilling place a piece of wood
underneath the drilled material and then drill an opening through both pieces of material.
ATTENTION: When drilling it is not unusual for the drill bit to jam. In such a case there is a large momentum
reaction. Always pay attention to what you are doing and hold the drill fi rmly to prevent possible damage or
injury.
ATTENTION: Do not hold the trigger button down in the on position using adhesive tape or by other means.
The electrical circuit in the tool would not work correctly, which could lead to overheating and subsequent
damage to the tool.
Overload
If the tool becomes overloaded, the motor may be damaged. Increased pressure on the tool will not result in
speeding up work. The effect of greater pressure on the tool will only lower effectiveness, which may cause the
battery to go fl at prematurely and may also destroy the motor. Non-standard types of work and the effect of
excessive pressure will shorten the operating lifetime of the tool.
