Drilling

WARNING: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill
firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as 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.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until
the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from
slipping out.
• 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 drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the
handle, and the other gripping the bottom around the
battery area.
• Do not click the trigger of a stalled drill off and on in an
attempt to start it. Damage to the drill can result.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a
drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
