exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled dry.
CAUTION:
• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up
the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will only
serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease the
tool performance and shorten the service life of the
tool.
• There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit
at the time of hole break through. Hold the tool
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 tool may back out abruptly if you
do not hold it firmly.
• Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar
hold-down device.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Indicator lamp

004290
The green power-ON indicator lamp lights up when the
tool is switched ON. If the indicator lamp is lit but the tool
does not start, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or
the electric circuit or the motor may be defective. If the
indicator lamp does not light up and the tool does not start,
the ON/OFF switch or the mains cord may be defective.
The red service indicator lamp lights up when the tool is
excessively loaded. Continued operation under such a
condition will result in a failure or breakage of the tool.
At this time, cool down the tool by running the tool under
no load.
