DRILLING
See Figures 13 - 14.
A level is located on top of the motor housing to help keep
the drill bit level during use.
n
Check the direction of rotation selector for the correct
setting (forward or reverse).�
n
Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with
clamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.�
n
Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be
drilled.�
n
Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.
n
Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not force
the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let
the tool do the work.
WARNING:
Be prepared for binding at bit break-
through. 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.
