How to use

Secure the appropriate drill bit in the keyed chuck and tighten it firmly before connecting the tool to mains power. Select the lower gear for higher torque when drilling larger diameter holes or working in metal, and choose the higher gear for faster drilling in wood. Hold the drill with both hands where possible, apply steady, even pressure, and keep the tool aligned with the intended drilling axis. Allow the motor to reach operating speed before contacting the workpiece and withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips when drilling deeper holes.

Recommendations

Use appropriate drill bits for the material and wear suitable personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. For metal drilling, use cutting fluid or cooling where recommended and start with a pilot hole for large diameters. Inspect the keyed chuck and bits regularly for wear and ensure the mains connection and cable are in good condition before use.
