Low Speed Side
CAUTION:
Never change drill speed while motor is operating. Turn the drill "off" before
adjusting the shift knob.
To ensure the engagement of the gear, push the shift knob to the end. (Fig. 13)
8. To use for drilling metal
Use a metal-working drill bit. Apply a center punch at the desired drill site to
protect against drill bit slippage.
Apply sewing machine oil or soapy water to the drill bit with an old toothbrush
to lubricate it and extend its life.
Do not force the tool. Apply minimal pressure to the drill bit. Let the drill bit do
the work.
CAUTION:
Drilling a hole in the metal exerts considerable force on the edge of the hole so
that the drill bit may slip from the keyless chuck. If this happens, decrease the
pushing pressure on the power tool so that the drill bit does not slip.
