Troubleshooting
WARNING: DO NOT inhale masonry dust. Wear adequate breathing
protection. Dust from masonry, concrete and similar substances is harmful
and may be toxic.
Drilling Wood
• Use rotary drilling mode only
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for wood, and are within the maximum
capacity of this machine (see “Specifications”)
WARNING: DO NOT inhale wood dust. Wear adequate breathing protection.
Some wood dusts may be toxic.
Drilling Metal
• Ensure that drill bits are suitable for the grade of metal being drilled, and
are within the maximum capacity of the machine (see “Specifications”)
• To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer
and centre punch
• Use rotary drill mode only
WARNING: Never switch the machine to hammer mode when drilling metal.
WARNING: The drill bit and the workpiece will become very hot when
drilling metal. DO NOT touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact
with combustible materials when hot. Always use a suitable lubricant or
cutting fluid, and drill at appropriate speeds.
• Only apply moderate pressure to the drill bit, ensuring efficient cutting
and prolonged drill bit life
• Use a countersink bit to remove sharp burrs from the hole, preventing
cuts and other kinds of injury

brushes etc. is available from your Silverline dealer

body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use
clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
