equipment, as instructed in the Safety
Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light
pressure, until the hole is started enough
to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the
bit biting but not so much as to stall the

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 flutes.
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
sulfurized cutting oil or lard oil.

positions, the drill will not clutch. The drill may
stall if overloaded, causing a sudden twist.
Your drill has hammer action which is
engaged by twisting the torque collar to
the hammer symbol . Use hammer
action when drilling in masonry.
Drilling in Masonry
(Shift drill into hammer mode)
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer
to Drilling section. Keep even force on the
drill but not so much that you crack the
brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust
indicates the proper drilling rate.
LED Work Light
