enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. Do not torce
the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let
the tool do the work.

through. When these situations occur, drill has a
tendency to grab and kick opposite to the direction
of rotation and could cause loss of control when
breaking through material, h not prepared, this loss
of control can result in possible serious injury,

Rg. 11

■ When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, use a center
punch to mark the desired hole location. This will pre
vent the dnil bit from sfipping off-center as the hole Is
started.

■ When drilling metals, use a light oil on the drill bit to
kflfep it from overheating. The oil will prolong ttie life of
the bit and increase the drilBng action.

■ If the bit jams in the workpiece or if the drill stalls,
stop the tool immediately. Remove the bit from the

workpiece and determine the reason for jamming.

This drill has an electric brake. When the switch trigger
is released, the chuck stops turning, When the brake is
functioning properly, sparks will be visible through the
vent slots on the housing. This is normal and is the action
of the brake.
