Drilling in Metals
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are
cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting
lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil;
bacon grease will also serve the purpose.
Drilling in Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep even force
on the drill but not so much that you crack the brittle materials. A
smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Operation as a Screwdriver
Select the desired speed/torque range using the dual range gear
shift lever on the top of tool to match the speed and torque to the
planned operation.
Insert the desired fastener accessory into the Quick Release
Chuck. Set the torque adjustment collar (Figure 5). Make a few
practice runs in scrap or unseen areas to determine the proper
position of the clutch collar.
Maintenance
CLEANING: With the motor running, blow dirt and dust out of all
air vents with dry air at least once a week. Wear safety glasses
when performing this. Exterior plastic parts may be cleaned with a
damp cloth and mild detergent. Although these parts are highly
solvent resistant, NEVER use solvents.
Charger Cleaning Instructions:
WARNING: Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before
cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the exterior of the
charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not use water
or any cleaning solutions.
