Drilling
• Always unplug the drill when attaching or removing
accessories. When attaching accessories in the keyless
drill chuck, it is important to securely tighten the chuck
to prevent slippage. When using a keyless chuck, hand
tighten firmly.
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
General Power Tool Safety Warnings .
• Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the General Power Tool Safety Warnings .
• Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
General Power Tool Safety Warnings .
• Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until the
hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from slipping
out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much
as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the drill firmly with both hands to control its
twisting action.
• Drills equipped with a side handle must use the
side handle.
• DO NOT CLICK THE TRIGGER OF A STALLED DRILL OFF
AND ON IN AN ATTEMPT TO START IT. DAMAGE TO THE
DRILL CAN RESULT.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by reducing pressure
and slowly drilling through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the bit out of a
drilled hole. This will help reduce jamming.
Drilling In Wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits
used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be
sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to
clear chips from the flutes.
Drilling In Metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The
cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil
or lard oil.

Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Keep even force on the
drill but not so much that you crack the brittle material. A
smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
