2. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep drill biting, but do not push
hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
3. Hold tool firmly with both hands to control the twisting
action of the drill.
CAUTION: Drill may stall if overloaded causing a
sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the drill
firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.
4. IF DRILL STALLS, it is usually because it is being
overloaded or improperly used. RELEASE TRIGGER
IMMEDIATELY, remove drill bit from work, and determine
cause of stalling. DO NOT CLICK TRIGGER ON AND OFF
IN AN ATTEMPT TO START A STALLED DRILL — THIS CAN
DAMAGE THE DRILL.
5. To minimize stalling or breaking through the material,
reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit through the last
fractional part of the hole.
6. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out of
a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
Drilling in Metal
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power
while applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow
of metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting
lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron
and brass which should be drilled dry.
NoTE: Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole [5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16"
(5 mm)] is drilled first.
NoTE: When using a cutting lubricant, be sure not to get the
lubricant on the tool.
Drilling in Wood
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. For larger holes, use spade bits, power auger bits,
or hole saws. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up
with a block of wood.
Drilling in Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits at low speeds. Keep even
force on the drill but not so much that you crack the brittle
materials. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper
drilling rate.
