Drilling in wood
Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits used 
for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be sharp and 
should be pulled out frequently when drilling to clear chips 
from the utes.
Drilling in metal
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions 
are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The cutting 
lubricants that work best are sulphurized cutting oil.
Drilling in masonry
For drilling in masonry, set the collar (3) to the hammer drilling 
position by aligning the symbol with the marking. Use carbide 
tipped masonry bits. . Keep even force on the drill. A smooth, 
even ow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
LED work light (Fig H)
When drill is activated by pulling the trigger switch (1), the 
integrated LED work light (6) will automatically illuminate the 
work area. 
Note: The work light is for lighting the immediate work surface 
and is not intended to be used as a ashlight.
