ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTALLING DRILL BITS – cont’d DRILLING When drilling in smooth hard surfaces such as metal, use a center punch to mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. The workpiece to be drilled should be secured in a vice or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates (Fig. 7). Fig. 6 REMOVING BITS 1. Remove the drill plug from the power source. 2.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING DRILLING – cont’d DRIVING SCREWS 4. When driving screws, care must be taken to use the bit that correctly fits the screw being driven. Make sure you use the largest bit size that will properly fit into the head of the screw. Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill bit or apply sideways pressure to elongate the hole. 1. Select the correct screwdriver bit for the screw being driven. 2.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING CHUCK REMOVAL – cont’d RETIGHTENING A LOOSE CHUCK 4. Open the chuck jaws and remove the hex key. 5. Open the chuck jaws as far as possible. 6. Remove the chuck screw using a #2 screwdriver (Fig. 10). NOTE: Turn screw CLOCKWISE to remove it. This screw has a left hand thread. After installing the chuck once it has been removed, the chuck may become loose on the spindle and develop a wobble.
