DRILLING

See Figures 8 and 9.

 

Attach auxiliary handle (except for very light duty jobs)

 

Depress  and  release  the  switch  trigger  to  be  sure  the 
drill is in the

 OFF position before connecting it to power 

supply.

 

Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or with clamps 
to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.

 

Plug the drill into power supply source.

 

Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to be 
drilled.

 

Depress the switch trigger to start the drill. Do not lock 
the switch 

ON for jobs where the drill may need to be 

stopped suddenly.

 

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 drill and 
bit do the work.

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 hard smooth surfaces use a center punch to 
mark the desired hole location. This will prevent the drill bit 
from slipping off center as the hole is started.
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 the workpiece or if the drill stalls, stop the 
tool immediately. Remove the bit from the workpiece and 
determine the reason for jamming.
