clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit
rotates.

WARNING: Be prepared for binding or bit
breakthrough.
When these situations occur, drill
has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the
direction of rotation and could cause loss of
control when breaking through materials. If not
prepared, this loss of control can result in
possible serious injury.
When drilling hard, smooth surfaces use a center
punch to mark the desired hole location. This will
prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole
is started. However, the variable speed feature allows
starting holes without center punching if desired. To
accomplish this, operate your drill at a low speed until
the hole is started.
When drilling metals use a light oil on the drill bit to
keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of
the bit and increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in the work piece or if your drill stalls,
stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the
work piece and determine the reason for jamming.
