tool indoors out of children's reach.
3. When drilling large holes in metal, start
by drilling a smaller pilot hole, then using
a larger bit for the final size hole.
3. To prevent or reduce "break out" when bit
penetrates work piece, clamp a piece of
scrap material to back of work piece.

b. Clean the bit flutes regularly while drilling.
c. Back the bit out of the hole
often during drilling, especially
when drilling deep holes.
