3.Start by drilling slowly to keep bit from wandering away from starting point. Increase speed as hole is established.
4.To prevent or reduce “break out” when bit penetrates work piece, clamp a piece of scrap material to back of work piece.
5.Do not lock Trigger in the ON position, as the bit can easily jam in wood and motor must be stopped quickly.
Concrete Drilling Tips
1.Use carbide or specialty bits for concrete drilling.
2.Rock and masonry are generally drilled in the hammer (impact) drilling mode.
3.When drilling in walls, start with regular drilling and, once tile is pierced, continue with hammer mode.
NOTE: In deep bore holes, occasionally pull the drill bit out to remove dust and chips.
