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.
See Figure 4. Insert a 5/16 inch or larger hex key wrench into the chuck of your drill and tighten the chuck jaws securely. Tap the hex key wrench sharply with a mallet in a clockwise direction. See Figure 15. This will loosen the screw in the chuck for easy removal.
