WARNING:

To avoid loss of control or serious personal injury, always use both hands when operating this tool. Grip the bail handle or the pipe handle firmly with one hand and grip the switch handle of the tool with the other hand.

WARNING:

When drilling in HIGH speed, always hold the drill securely using the pipe handle, or brace the drill against a solid fixed object. Failure to securely brace the drill can result in serious personal injury.

nDepress the switch trigger to start the drill.

nMove the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the drill and bit do the work.

WARNING:

Be prepared for binding at bit breakthrough. When binding occurs, the drill has a tendency to react and kick opposite to the direction of rotation. This may cause loss of control when breaking through materials. If not prepared, this loss of control can result in possible serious injury.

NOTE: When drilling in forward, the bit will rotate in a clockwise direction. If the bit binds in the hole, the bit will come to a sudden stop and the drill will suddenly react in a counterclockwise direction.

When drilling in reverse, the bit will rotate in a counter- clockwise direction. If the bit binds in the hole, the bit will come to a sudden stop and the drill will suddenly react in a clockwise direction.
