then enlarge to the required size, it’s often faster in the long run. Maintain enough pressure to assure that the bit does not just spin in the hole. This will dull the bit and greatly shorten its life.

DRILLING MASONRY

Soft materials such as brick are relatively easy to drill. Concrete however, will require much more pressure to keep the bit from spinning. Be sure to use carbide tip bits for all masonry work.

Before using an accessory, be certain that its maximum safe operating speed is not exceeded by the nameplate speed of the tool. Do not exceed the recommended wheel diameter.

RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS

Variable speed control must be used with caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket

set attachments. The technique is to start slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the drill to a stop. If this procedure is not followed, the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.

HOLE SAWS

!WARNING Keep hands away from cutting area and hole saw.

Keep your second hand on the side handle or motor housing. If both hands are holding the drill, they cannot be cut by the hole saw. Hold the drill firmly to prevent loss of control. Unplug drill when removing core.

Hole saws are Ideal for use with lock installation kits for 2-1/8” deadbolts or locksets with 15/16” or 1” latch hole in wooden and composition doors.
