DRILLING WOOD
For maximum performance when drilling larger holes, use auger bits or spade bits for wood drilling.
- Set the tool to the drill mode.
- Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point. Increase the
speed as it bites into the wood.
- When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the work piece to prevent ragged or splintered
edges on the back of the hole.
DRILLING METAL
For maximum performance, use HSS drill bits for metal drilling.
- Set the tool to the drill mode.
- Mark off the center of the hole using a center punch.
- Use a suitable lubricant for the material you are working on.
- Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
- Always clamp sheet metal. Support thin metal with a block of wood to avoid distorting it.
