or deflect the bit.
IF THE DRILL STALLS:
RELEASE TRIGGER SWITCH IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine cause of stalling.
DO NOT DEPRESS TRIGGER SWITCH ON AND OFF IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL
— THIS CAN DAMAGE THE DRILL.
To minimize stalling or breaking through the material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the
last fractional part of the hole.
Large holes (5/16″ to 1/2″ [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) in steel can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32″ to 3/16″ [4 mm
to 4.8 mm]) is drilled first.
If drilling thin material or material that is prone to splinter, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage to the
workpiece.
