9. To prevent accidents, remove tool’s Battery
Pack after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
Drilling in Wood
1. Use high speed drill bits for wood drilling and
set mode to Drilling (Model HC92B only).
2. Start wood drilling at very low speed
to keep the bit from slipping. Increase
speed as drill bit bites into wood.
3. When drilling through holes, place a block
or wood behind the workpiece to prevent
ragged edges on the back side of the hole.
Drilling in Metal
1. Use high speed drill bits for metal drilling and
set mode to Drilling (Model HC92B only).
2. Start metal drilling at very low speed to keep the bit
from slipping. Maintain the speed and pressure,
allowing for cutting without overheating the bit.
3. When drilling large holes in metal surfaces, use a
small drill bit at first. Then finish with a larger drill
bit. Be sure to lubricate the bit with oil to improve
the drilling action and help increase bit life.
Drilling in Masonry (Model HC92B only)
1. Use carbide or specialty bits for masonry drilling
and set mode to Hammer Drilling.
2. When drilling in walls, start with regular
drilling and, once tile is pierced, continue
with Hammer Drilling mode.
NOTE:
In deep bore holes, occasionally pull
the drill bit out to remove dust and chips.
