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.
7. With variable speed drills there is no need to center punch
the point to be drilled. Use a slow speed to start the hole
and accelerate by squeezing the trigger harder when the
hole is deep enough to drill without the bit skipping out.
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 8 mm to 13 mm holes in steel can be made easier
if a pilot hole 4 mm to 5 mm is drilled first.
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. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up with a
block of wood.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous

D
WALT uses an advanced brush system which automatically
e
stops the drill when the brushes wear out. This prevents
serious damage to the motor. Brushes must be replaced
