Battery
The length of service from each charging cycle will epen on the type of work you
are oing. The battery (6) in this rill have been esigne to provi e maximum trouble
free life.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
• Store an charge your batteries (6) in a cool area. Temperatures above or below
normal room temperature will shorten battery life.
• Never store batteries in a ischarge con ition. Recharge them imme iately after
they are ischarge .
• All batteries gra ually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker
they lose their charge. If you store your rill for long perio s of time without using
it, recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice will prolong battery life.

General Hints for Drilling in all Materials
• Always use sharp rill bits.
• Mark the place where you woul like the hole to be rille .
• Commence with a slow spee to start the hole (see section "Spee Control"
for irections on how to o this).
• Re uce your pressure on the rill when the rill bit is about to break through
the material.
Metal Drilling
• Support thin material with a piece of scrap woo .
• Use a centre punch to mark the position of the hole.
• If rilling a large hole, use a small size rill bit first to establish a pilot hole
then use the require large size rill bit.
• Use only HSS (high spee steel) rill bits or those recommen e for metal use.
• When rilling into iron or steel, use a cooling lubricant such as thin oil. With
aluminium, use turpentine or paraffin. With brass, copper an cast iron, use no
lubricant but with raw the rill regularly to assist cooling.
Wood Drilling
• Mark the place where you want to rill with a punch or a nail.
• To avoi splintering on breakthrough, either clamp a piece of scrap woo to
the back of your workpiece or continue the hole from the back of the woo
when the rill bit first breaks through.
