GENERAL ADVICE ON DRILLING• Many different types of drill bits are now available to cope with different materials and

situations. We recommend you always follow manufacturers instructions for their use.

• After drilling material to the full depth, do not simply pull out the drill but maintainchuck rotation to ease withdrawal.

• Keep drill bits sharpened for optimum performance.

• Replace any drill or screw bits which break or become badly worn.

• Always drill directly in line with the bit. Do not use sideways movement as this maydamage the drill or cause the bit to break.

ASSEMBLYSlide the auxiliary handle over the chuck sothat it is either to the left or to the right, to suityour requirement, with the locking screw uppermost.

Before tightening the locking screw, slide the depth gauge into its holder.

It is a simple matter to slacken the locking screw so that the handle may be rotated to themost comfortable position for the job in hand and then re-tightened.
