WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields when operating your drill. Failure to do
so could result in dust, shavings, loose particles or
foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, causing
possible serious injury.
DRILLING
See Figure 8.
When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch
to mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill
bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. How-
ever, the low speed feature allows starting holes with-
out center punching if desired. To accomplish this, sim-
ply operate your drill at a low speed until the hole is
started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or
with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit ro-
tates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force 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
it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit
and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release
switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the
workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
LEVEL

LEVEL DRILLING
See Figures 8 and 9.
Two levels are recessed in the motor housing of your
drill-driver. One is located on top, while the other is
located on the end. They can be used to keep drill bits
level during both horizontal and vertical drilling
operations.
