as in Figure 5, or holding the head of the drill with one hand and operating the paddle switch with the other hand, holding the back end of the drill as in Figure 6.

Drilling in Wood

Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from the flutes. For larger holes, use spade bits, power auger bits, or hole saws. Work that is likely to splinter should be backed up with a block of wood.

Drilling in Metal

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil or lard oil; bacon grease will also serve the purpose.

Drilling in Masonry

Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep even force on the drill but not so much that you crack the brittle materials. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.

Motor Brushes

Your tool will stop when the brushes wear out (down to about 3/16" (5mm) long). This prevents damage to the motor.

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center.
