OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL DRILLING
(fig 15)
1. Check the direction-of-rotation selector for the
correct setting (forward or reverse).
2. Use a vise or clamps to secure the material to
be drilled to keep it from turning as the drill bit
rotates.
3. Hold the cordless drill/driver firmly, and place the
bit at the point to be drilled.
4. Depress the variable-speed 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.
• Do not force the cordless drill/driver or apply
sideways pressure to elongate a hole. Allow the
tool to do the work.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 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 will tend 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.
