GENERAL DRILLING
(fig 9)
1. Use a vise or clamps to secure the material to be
drilled to keep it from turning as the drill
bit rotates.
2. Check the direction-of-rotation selector for the
correct setting (forward or reverse).
3. Hold the cordless drill/driver firmly, and place the bit
at the point to be drilled.
4. Depress the trigger switch to start the cordless drill/
driver.
5. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only
enough pressure to keep the bit cutting.
6. Do not force the cordless drill/driver or apply
sideways pressure to elongate a hole. Allow the tool
to do the work.
7. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a centre
punch to mark the desired location of the hole. This
will prevent the drill bit from slipping off-centre when the hole is started.
8. When drilling metal, use light oil on the drill bit to prevent it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life
of the bit and will increase the drilling efficiency.
9. If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill/driver stalls, stop the tool immediately. Reverse the direction of
rotation and gently squeeze the trigger switch to remove the bit from the workpiece. Investigate and correct the
cause of jamming before resuming work.

WARNING!
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when
blowing dust. If the operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
• Be prepared for binding when the bit breaks through the workpiece, because the drill/driver has a tendency
to grab and kick opposite to the direction of rotation, which could cause a loss of control. If the operator is
not prepared, this loss of control could result in serious injury.
