Hints for optimum use
Drilling
u
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the drill
bit.
u
Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of the
workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.
u
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may
splinter.
u
Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.
u
Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
u
Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.
u
Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron
and brass.
u
Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of
the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.
Screwdriving
u
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
u
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
u
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw
