_1_ WARNING: Be prepared for binding or bit
break_hreugh. When these situations occur, drill
has a tendency to grab and kickoppositeto the
directionof rotationand could cause loss of control
when breaking through materials. If not prepared,
this loss of controlcan resultin possibleserious
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 drillingmetals use a light oil on the drill bit to
keep it from overheating.The oilwill 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.
