m When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center
punch to mark the desired hole location. This will
prevent the drtll btt from slipping off-center as the hoJe
is started.
ia When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to
keep it from overheating. The otl will prolong the life of
the bit and increase the drilling action,.
m If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls,
stop the tool immediately, Remove the bit from the
workpiece and determine the reason for lamming.
NOTE: This drill has an electric brake, When the switch
trigger is released, the chuck stops turning. When the
brake is functioning property, sparks will be visible through
the vent slots on the housing. This is normal and is the
action of the brake.
