WOOD, METAL, AND STEEL DRILLING
For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for
wood or metal drilling. Select
Rotational Drilling Mode
.
Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from
slipping off the starting point.
NOTICE:
When using the tool, do not apply too much pressure. Too
much pressure will place unnecessary load on the motor.
WOOD DRILLING

Select
Rotational Drilling Mode
.

Increase the speed as the drill bit bites into the material.

When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind
the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges on
the back side of the hole.
METAL AND STEEL DRILLING

Select
Rotational Drilling Mode
.

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.

Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting
without overheating the bit. Applying too much pressure
will:
• Overheat the drill;
• Wear the bearings;
• Bend or burn bits; and
• Produce off-center or irregular-shaped holes.

When drilling large holes in metal, start with a small bit,
then finish with a larger bit.
