NOTE: Large (5/16" to 1/2") holes in steel can be made easier if a
pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16") is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
An 'SDS shank to round shank' adaptor chuck is required. Start
drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while applying firm
pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be made with the same twist
drills used for metal. These bits may overheat unless pulled out
frequently to clear chips from the flutes. Work that is apt to splinter
should be backed up with a block of wood.
DRILLING IN MASONRY
When drilling in masonry, use carbide tipped bits rated for percussion
drilling and be certain that the bit has adequate carbide on the tip.
Ensure that the rotary hammer mode is selected. Use a constant and
firm force on the tool to drill most effectively. A smooth, even flow of
dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Depth Rod
To adjust the depth rod, loosen the handle and move rod so that the
distance between the end of the rod and the end of the bit equals
