holes in wood. These bits must be sharp
and should be pulled out frequently when
drilling to clear chips from the flutes.

instructed in the safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety
equipment, as instructed in the
safety instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the safety instructions.
• Use light pressure until the hole is started
enough to keep the drill bit from slipping
out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit.
Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting
but not so much as to stall the motor or
deflect the bit.
• Hold the tool firmly to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A
STALLED TOOL OFF AND ON IN AN
ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE
TOOL CAN RESULT. To remove:
• Put tool in reverse and back drill bit out.
• Turn tool off and back bit out by hand.
• Remove bit with pliers.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by
reducing pressure and slowly drilling
through last part of hole.
• Put tool in reverse while pulling the bit out of a
drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
