Fig. 12
When drillinghard smooth surfacesuse a center punch to
mark desired hole location.This will prevent the drill bit
from slippingoffcenter as the hole is started.However,
the low speed feature allows starting holes withoutcenter
punchingff desired. To accomplishthis, simplyoperate
your drill at a low speed untilthe hole Is started.
The material to be drilled shouldbe secured in avlse or
with clampsto keep it from turning as the drillbit rotates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the pointto be drilled.
Depress the switchtriggerto start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workplece applying only enough
pressure to keep the bit cutting, Do not force or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
A 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 matedaL If not prepared, this loss
of control can result in possible serious injury,
When drillingmetals, use a light oll on the drill bitto keep
it from overheating.The ollwill prolongthe life ofthe bit
and increase the drillingaction.
If the bit JamsIn workplece or Ifthe drill stalls, release
switchtrigger Immediately.Remove the bitfrom the
