When drillinghard smoothsurfaces use a center punch
to markdesired hole location.This will prevent the drill
bitfrom slippingoff center as the hole is started. How-
ever, the low speed feature allowsstarting holes without
center punchingif desired. To accomplishthis, simply
operate yourdrill at a low speed untilthe hole isstarted.
The material to be drilledshouldbe secured in a vise or
with damps tokeep itfrom tuming as the drill bitrotates.
Hold toolfirmly and place the bit at the pointto be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger tostarttool.
Move the drillbitintothe workpiece applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting.Do notforce or
apply side pressure to elongate a hole.
,_ WARNING: Be prepared for binding or bit
breakthrough. When these situations occur, drill
has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the
direction of rotation and could cause loss of
control when breaking through material. If not +
prepared, this loss of control can result in
possible serious injury.
When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to
keep itfrom overheating. The oil will prolong the life of
the bit and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drillstalls, release
switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the
workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
