Place the point of the driver bit in the screw head and applypressuretothetool.Startthetoolslowlyandthen increasethespeedgradually.Releasetheswitchtrigger as soon as the clutch cuts in. NOTE: When driving wood screw, pre-drill a pilot hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. It makes driving easier and prevents splitting of the workpiece.10 ENGLISH Drilling operation CAUTION: Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressurewillonlyservetodamagethetipofyourdrill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the tool. CAUTION: Hold the tool rmly and exert care when the drill bit begins to break through the workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through. CAUTION: A stuck drill bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not hold it rmly. CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device. CAUTION: If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery. First,turntheadjustingringsothatthearrowpointsto the marking. Then proceed as follows. Drilling in wood When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screwmakesdrillingeasierbypullingthedrillbitinto the workpiece. Drilling in metal To prevent the drill 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 drill bit in the indentation and start drilling. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. Some iron andbrasswhichshouldbedrilleddryareexceptions. MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched o󰀨 and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
