When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark desired hole location.This will prevent the drill bit from slippingoff center as the hole is started. How- ever, the low speed feature allows starting holes without center punching if desired. To accomplishthis, simply operate your drill at a low speed until the hole is started. The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with damps to keep it from tuming as the drill bit rotates.

Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled. Depress the switch trigger to start tool.

Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side pressure to elongate a hole.

,_ 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 material. If not + prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.

When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and increase the drilling action.

If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release switch trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the

workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.
