WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields during power tool operation or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust
mask.
WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, the direction-of-rotation
selector should always be locked (center) when not in use or carrying the drill at your side.
13. Drilling
a. Check the direction-of-rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).

d. Depress the trigger switch to start the drill/driver.
e. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
the drill/driver or apply side pressure to elongate a
hole. Let the tool do the work.
f. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center
punch to mark the desired location of the hole. This
will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the
hole is started.

sparks may be visible through the vent slots in the housing. This is normal and is the action of the
brake.
