Note: Remember the
Switching to LO speed will increase torque. Switching to HI speed will decrease torque.
BIT STORAGE
See Figure 11.
When not in use, bits provided with your drill can be placed in the storage area located on the top of your drill as shown in figure 11.

,_ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
LEVEL DRILLING
See Figure 12.
A convenient new feature provided with your drill is a level, It is recessed in the motor housing on top of your drill. It can be used to keep drill bits level during drilling operations.
DRILLING
See Figure 13.
Fig. 13
When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the low speed feature allows starting holes without center punching if desired. To accomplish this, 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 clamps to keep it from turning 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.
_i 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.
