DRILLING 

See Figure 12.
When drilling hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to 
mark desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit from 
slipping off center as the hole is started. However, the low 
speed feature allows starting holes without center punching 
if desired. To accomplish this, simply operate the drill at a 
low speed until the hole is started.
The material to be drilled should be secured in a vise or with 
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.
Hold tool firmly and place the bit at the point to be drilled. 
Depress the switch trigger to start tool.
Move the drill bit into the workpiece applying only enough 
pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force or apply side 
pressure to elongate a hole.

WARNING: 

Be prepared for binding or bit breakthrough. When 
these situations occur, drill has a tendency to grab 
and kick opposite to the direction of rotation and 
could cause loss of control when breaking through 
material. If not prepared, this loss of control can 
result in possible serious injury.

When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it 
from overheating. The oil will prolong the life of the bit and 
increase the drilling action.
If the bit jams in workpiece or if the drill stalls, release switch 
trigger immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and 
determine the reason for jamming.
