ing:

– Only use tools designed for the specified maxi-

mum speed.

– Only sharp tools ensure efficient drilling and pre-

vent machine overload. 

– Always use faultless, sharpened HSS drill bits

(HSS: High Speed Steel) when drilling into metal.

– Do not cause the machine to seize through over-

loading.

– Machine vice: clamp the workpiece securely in a

machine vice, for example, before drilling to pre-

vent the workpiece from turning and causing ac-

cidents.
