[. . . ] NOTE: The depth gauge cannot be used at the position where the depth gauge strikes against the gear housing. , turn the action mode change knob to the position of symbol to use ``rotation with hammering'' action. Be sure to use a tungsten-cabide tipped bit. Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the machine at an idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole. By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out. After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the dust out of the hole. 9) 2) Drillng operation When drilling in wood, metal or plastic materials, turn the action mode change knob to the position of symbol to use ``rotation only'' action. Drilling in wood When drilling in wood, best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the workpiece. Drilling in metal To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an indentation with a centerpunch and hammer at the point to be drilled. place the point of the bit in the indentation and start drilling. Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry. In fact, this excessive pressure will only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the machine performance and shorten the service life of the machine. Hold the machine firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break through the workpiece. A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out. However, the machine may back out abruptly if you do not hold it firmly. Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device. CAUTION: Before plugging in the machine, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the ``OFF'' position when released.
