Fig. 10DRILLINGSee Figures 11 - 12.Levels are located on the top and end of the motorhousing to help keep the drill bit level during use.[] Check the direction of rotation selector for the correctsetting (forward or reverse).

[] Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or withclamps to keep it from turning as the drill bit rotates.

[] Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the point to bedrilled.[] Depress the switch trigger to start the drill.[] Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying onlyenough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not forcethe drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Letthe tool do the work.

_ WARNING: Be prepared for binding at bitbreakthrough. When these situations occur, drill hasa tendency to grab and kick opposite to the directionof rotation and could cause loss of control whenbreaking through material. If not prepared, this lossof control can result in possible serious injury.

[] When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a centerpunch to mark the desired hole location. This willprevent the drill bit from slipping off-center as the holeis started.[] When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit tokeep it from overheating. The oil will prolong the life ofthe bit and increase the drilling action.

[] If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls,stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from theworkpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

NOTE: This drill has an electric brake. When the switchtrigger is released, the chuck stops turning. When thebrake is functioning properly, sparks will be visible throughthe vent slots on the housing. This is normal and is theaction of the brake.
