APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purposes listed below)
•Hammer drilling inconcrete and masonry.
• Drilling in wood.
• Drilling in ceramics, plastics, fiberglass, and lami-
nates.
• Drilling in both hard and soft metals.
• Using driving accessories, such as driving screws
with screwdriver bits.
LEVEL DRILLING
See Figure 17.
A convenient feature provided on your drill is a level. It is
recessed in the motor housing on top andend of your
drill. It can be used to keep drill bits level during most
drilling operations.

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 isstarted. 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 bedrilled should be secured in a vise or
with clamps to keep itfrom turning asthe drill bit rotates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point tobe drilled.
Depress the switch trigger to start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough
pressure to keep the bitcutting. Do notforce or apply side
pressure to elongate a hole.
AWARNING: 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 ofcontrol when
breaking through material, ifnot 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 lifeof 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.
