Drilling
• Use sharp drill bits only.
• Support and secure work properly, as
instructed in the "Safety Instructions".
• Use appropriate and required safety
equipment, as instructed in the "Safety
Instructions".
• Secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the "Safety Instructions".
• Run the drill very slowly, using light
pressure, until the hole is started enough
to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the bit
biting but not so much as to stall the
motor or deflect the bit.
• Hold the drill firmly with two hands to
control its twisting action.
• Do not click the trigger of a stalled drill
o and on in an attempt to start it.
Damage to the drill can result.
• Minimize stalling on breakthrough by
reducing pressure and slowly drilling
through the last part of the hole.
• Keep the motor running while pulling the
bit out of a drilled hole. This will help
reduce jamming.
• Make sure switch turns drill on and off.
