Maintenance - Milwaukee HDE 13RQ Manual

drilling in non-ferrous metals such as cop-
per, brass, or aluminum. Back the material
to prevent binding and distortion on break-
through.
NOTE: Keep the speed low enough to pre-
vent burning the bit.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury
and damage to the tool, hold the tool
securely. Brace tools with side
handles as shown. If the bit binds, the
tool will be forced in the opposite
direction. Bits may bind if they are
misaligned or
through a hole. Wood boring bits can
also bind if they run into nails or knots.

1. When starting a hole, place the drill bit
on the work surface and apply firm
pressure. Begin drilling at a slow
speed, gradually increasing the speed
as you drill.
2. Always apply pressure in line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the
drill biting, but do not push hard enough
to stall the motor.
3. Reduce pressure and ease the bit
through the last part of the hole. While
the tool is still running, pull the bit out
of the hole to prevent jamming.
