Drilling
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL
INJURY, ALWAYS ensure workpiece is anchored or
clamped firmly. If drilling thin material, use a wood
"back‑up" block to prevent damage to the material.
•
Use sharp drill bits only.
•
Support and secure work properly, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
•
Use appropriate and required safety equipment, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
•
Secure and maintain work area, as instructed in the
Safety Instructions.
1. Always apply pressure in a straight line with the bit. Use
enough pressure to keep the drill bit biting, but do not
push hard enough to stall the motor or deflect the bit.
2. Run the drill very slowly, using light pressure, until
the hole is started enough to keep the drill bit from
slipping out.
3. Hold the drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the
handle, and the other gripping the bottom around the
battery area.
4. iF DRill sTAlls, it is usually because it is being overloaded.

5. Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out
of a drilled hole. This will help prevent jamming.
Hammer Drilling
iMPORTAnT: Use carbide‑tipped or masonry bits rated for
percussion drilling only.
1. Select the desired speed/torque range using the speed
selector

to match the speed and torque to the
planned operation.
2. Turn the torque adjustment collar

3. Hold the drill firmly with two hands, one hand on the
handle, and the other gripping the bottom around the
battery area.
4. Pull the trigger switch
on the drill to keep it from bouncing excessively or
"rising" off the bit. Too much force will cause slower
drilling speeds, overheating, and a lower drilling rate.
5. Drill straight, keeping the bit at a right angle to the work.
6. Do not exert side pressure on the bit when drilling as
this will cause clogging of the bit flutes and a slower
drilling speed.
7. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates the proper
drilling rate.
8. When drilling deep holes, if the drill speed starts to drop
off, pull the bit partially out of the hole with tool still
running to help clear debris from the hole.

Common Drilling Materials
Wood
‑
Use twist bits, spade bits, power auger bits or hole saws.
‑
These bits should be sharp and should be pulled out
frequently when drilling to clear chips from the flutes.
Metal
‑
Use high‑speed steel twist drill bits or hole saws.
‑
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are cast iron and brass which should be
drilled dry.
‑
Using a sulfurized cutting oil is recommended.
Masonry
‑
When drilling in masonry, use carbide‑tipped bits
rated for percussion drilling and be certain that the
bits are sharp.
‑
Use a constant and firm force on the tool to drill
most effectively.
