SAFETY WARNING

Read, understand, and follow your power tool manufacturer’s instructions for safety. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before commencing power tool operation. Always keep hands, face, hair, loose clothing, and body at a safe distance from spindles and cutting tools. Always keep a firm grip on tool handles when in operation. Always disconnect from power source before adjusting power tools.

ATTACHING AND REMOVING

NOTE: The DrillMate™ has a removable Handle which can be attached to the Main Base. To attach the Handle loosen the Handle Bolt. Slide the Handle bolt into the Handle mounting slot on the Main Base (see img. 1). Tighten by rotating the Handle clockwise. To remove, rotate the Handle counter clockwise.

Attach your drill chuck to the Spindle Shaft on the DrillMate™ (see img. 2). Tighten the drill chuck. When completing a drilling project, remove your drill from the Spindle Shaft on the DrillMate™.

Do not use the DrillMate™ as a router or with the drill in reverse.

SETTING DEPTH OF CUT

NOTE: The depth stop feature controls depth for repeated accuracy. The Support Spring should be used on the Guide Bar without the Stop Collar.

1. With the cutting tool secured in the chuck, place the drill guide at the edge of your work piece.
2. Press the drill down until desired depth of the hole is reached. Slide the depth stop against the drill Guide Head (see img. 3). Tighten the depth stop s-knob. Release the s-knob on the drill Guide Head. You are ready to drill.

ANGLE DRILLING

1. Loosen both Guide Bars by rotating the end knob at least 3 turns (see img. 4).

2. Position the Guide Bars to the desired angle by aligning the Angle Indicators with the index mark on the Main Base (see images 5a & 5b). Tighten the Guide Bars.

3. Firmly hold the Main Base flush to the work piece while drilling (see img. 6).

Do not use the DrillMate™ with the drill in reverse.

90° DEGREE DRILLING

1. To drill a hole straight down, at a 90° angle to the work piece, loosen both Guide Bars (see img. 4).
2. Position the Guide Bars by aligning the Angle Indicators with the 90° angle index mark on the Main Base (see img. 5a & 5b). Tighten the Guide Bars.
3. Firmly hold the Main Base flush to the work piece while drilling (see img. 6).

SELF-CENTERING

2. Rotate the DrillMate™ until the edges of the centering channel contact the sides of the work piece (see img. 8). The DrillMate™ is now centered on the edge of the work piece.

3. Adjust for depth of cut as needed (see “Setting Depth of Cut”, p. 5). Firmly hold the Main Base flush to the work piece while drilling
