WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
WARNING: Drill may stall (if overloaded or improperly
used) causing a twist. Always expect the stall. Grip
the drill firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action and prevent loss of control which could cause
personal injury.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the handle
and the other bracing the body of the drill to control the

nOTE: The first time the tool is run after changing the
direction of rotation, you may hear a click on start up.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Performing an Application (Fig. A)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal
injury, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clamped firmly.
WARNING: Always wait until the motor has come to
a complete standstill before changing the direction
of rotation.
Prior to performing work:
"Installing a Bit or Accessory" section.
1. Place drill bit in contact with the workpiece.
nOTE: Use sharp drill bit only.
2. Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight
line with the bit until it reaches the desired depth.
WARNING: Tool may stall if overloaded causing a
11
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the tool
firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
3. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out
of a drilled hole to prevent jamming.
Recommendations for Drilling
•
When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line
with the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the
motor or deflect the bit.

To minimize stalling or breaking through the
material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit
through the last fractional part of the hole.
•
Large holes (5/16" to 3/8" [7.9 mm to 10 mm]) in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm
to 4.8 mm]) is drilled first.
•
If drilling thin material or material that is prone to
splinter, use a wood "back-up" block to prevent damage
to the workpiece.
