Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide screw makes drilling easier by pulling the drill bit into the workpiece.
Drilling in metal
To prevent the drill bit from slipping when starting a hole, make an
indentation with a center-punch and hammer at the point to be drilled. Place
the point of the drill 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.
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
drill bit, decrease the tool performance and shorten the service life of the
tool.
CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly and exert care when the drill bit begins to
break through the workpiece. There is a tremendous force exerted on the
tool/drill bit at the time of hole break through.
CAUTION: A stuck drill 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.
CAUTION: Always secure workpieces in a vise or similar hold-down device.
CAUTION: If the tool is operated continuously until the battery cartridge
has discharged, allow the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding
with a fresh battery.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery
cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like.
Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. To maintain product SAFETY
and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita
replacement parts.
