NOTE: To make deeper holes, remove the core bit,
break and remove the core, then resume drilling.
When drilling long or deep holes, after each inch of
penetration pull the bit partially out of the hole while
the tool is running, to help clear dust from the bit
flutes. Dust can clog the bit flutes and can make the
bit bind in the hole. If this occurs, stop the tool, free
the bit and begin again.
Drilling Large Diameter Holes with Core Bits
When drilling holes with large diameter core bits, dust
may build up in the cut and can cause the tool to
stall, bind, or cut slowly. By creating
an opening for the dust to escape,
drilling time, bit stress, and tool
stress can be reduced.
1. Start the cut as normal.
2. Once the bit is firmly established
in the cut (about 1/4" deep),
remove the bit from the cut.
3. Remove the bit from the tool.
4. Install a standard fluted bit,
approximately 7/8" in diameter,
onto the tool.
5. Drill a perpendicular hole
through the kerf of the large hole.
• Depending on the location
of the work, the hole should
either break through the other
side of the hole/floor or extend
4"-5" past the end of the work-
piece (such as into the dirt
below a concrete slab).
• If dust builds up in the hole,
vacuum it out and continue
drilling.
• If drilling through a wall, the
hole for dust should be
drilled on the lowest part
of the large hole kerf as
the dust will fall there
when drilling and can be
evacuated more easily.
6. Reinstall the core bit and
continue drilling. Dust and
debris will fall through the
hole and optimize the cutting
ability of the bit.
NOTE: If unable to drill a hole
in the kerf, pull back on the bit
with the hammer running. This
will remove some of the dust
and debris from the cut. Re-
peat this for every inch of drill-
ing. If necessary, vacuum dust
and debris from the cut and
surrounding area.
7. For core bits, once the
maximum core bit depth is
drilled, the core must be
broken and removed.
• Install a chisel bit.
• Place the chisel into
the hole kerf.
• Chisel down into
the kerf at several
points until the core
is loose or broken.

• Always use the "hammering-only" setting to

• Never switch the tool to "hammering-with-

the tooth anchor chuck has been removed from
the anchor.
