There is a tremendous twisting force exerted on the tool/
bit at the time of hole breakthrough. Hold the tool firmly
and exert care when the bit begins to break through the
workpiece.
•
A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the
reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to back out.
However, the tool may back out abruptly if you do not
hold it firmly.
•
Always secure small workpieces in a vise or similar hold-
down device.
•
Avoid drilling in material that you suspect contains
hidden nails or other things that may cause the bit to
bind or break.

•

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, car-
bon brush inspection and replacement, any other mainte-
