When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center
punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent
the ddll bit from slipping off center as the hole is
started. However, the low speed feature allows
starting holes without center punching if desired. To
accomplish this, simply operate your drill at a low
speed until the hole is started.
The material to be ddlled should be secured in a vise
or with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit
rotates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled. Depress the switch tdgger to start tool.
Move the ddll bit into the workpiece applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
or apply side pressure to elongate e hole.
_1= WARNING:
Be prepared for binding or bit
breakthrough.
When these situations occur, ddll
has a tendency to grab and kick opposite to the
direction of rotation and could cause loss of
control when breaking through material. If not
prepared, this loss of control can result in
possible sedous injury.
11
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 workpiece or if the ddU stalls, release
switch trigger immediately.
Remove the bit from the
workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
