GENERAL DRILLING TIPS
• This tool is not recommended for drilling in masonry.
• Use sharp drill bits only
• Drill bits for metal can be used for drilling holes in wood. These bits must be sharp and
should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips from the flutes.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as instructed in the safety instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the safety instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the hole is started enough to keep the
drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit biting
but not so much as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the tool firmly with two hands to control its twisting action.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT
TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE DRILL CAN RESULT. To remove twist the bit back and
forth and straight out.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure and slowly drilling through last
part of hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a drilled hole. This will help reduce
jamming.
• Make sure switch turns tool on and off.
WARNING: It is important to support work properly and to hold the drill firmly to prevent
loss of control which could cause personal injury.
