General instructions for use
1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the
off-position, then plug in the tool.
2. Slide the Direction Switch to the forward setting.
cautiOn! Most drill bits are designed for use in
the forward, clockwise direction. Do not use a drill
bit in the opposite direction than it is designed for.
3. Place the tip of the drill bit on the workpiece.
note: When drilling wood, plastic or plastic coated
chip board, place bit at point to be drilled. When
drilling metal, use a punch (sold separately) to mark
the drilling position. Use a lubricant to prolong
life of bit and increase drilling action with most
metals. With steel, tin, and sheet metal use a light
machine oil; with aluminum, use paraffin. Do not
use lubricants with brass, copper, and cast iron.
4. Grasp the handles firmly with both hands
and slowly squeeze Trigger to activate.
5. For continuous drilling, press and hold the
Trigger, then press the Trigger Lock Button.
Press and release the Trigger to turn the Drill off.
Metal Drilling tips
1. Use high speed steel, carbide or
specialty bits for metal drilling.
2. Secure workpiece to keep it from moving
during the drilling operation.
3. Use a center punch (not included) to
create a dimple for the bit to start.
4. Start by drilling slowly to keep bit from wandering/
skating away from the starting point.
Wood Drilling tips
1. Use high speed bits or bits specially
designed for wood drilling, such as
brad point, spade bits, forstner bits, etc.
2. Secure workpiece to keep it from moving
during the drilling operation.
3. Start by drilling slowly to keep bit from
wandering away from starting point.
Increase speed as hole is established.

6. To prevent drill bit from binding after bit cuts through
workpiece, remove it while Drill is still running.
Release Trigger, or press and release Trigger if
Trigger Lock is engaged. Wait for Drill to come
to a complete stop before laying tool down.

EnGaGED! Allow Drill to come to a full stop, then,
using the Direction Switch, set Drill to Reverse
direction and slowly reverse bit out of workpiece.
WarninG! tO prEVEnt SEriOuS inJury:
The tool will restart automatically if stalled.
7. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children's reach.
cautiOn! The bit may be hot to the touch.
Allow the bit to cool before removing.
5. As hole is established, increase speed.
Do not use so much pressure that bit heats up.
This can damage bit and create irregular hole.
For hard metal, use cutting oil to keep bit cool.
6. When drilling large holes in metal, start
by drilling a smaller pilot hole, then using
a larger bit for the final size hole.
4. To prevent or reduce "break out" when bit
penetrates work piece, clamp a piece of
scrap material to back of workpiece.
5. Do not lock Trigger in the ON position,
as the bit can easily jam in wood and
motor must be stopped quickly.
