Magnetic Bit Storage (Fig. 10)
When not in use, the bits and screws can be
stored in the magnetic storage area on top of
the tool.
WARNING
implants or other medical devices such as
pacemaker or insulin pumps . The magnets
generate a field that can impair the function of
implants or medical devices, which may lead to
serious personal injury.
Drill Bits
Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear.
Use only bits that are sharp and in good condition.
Twist Bits: Available with straight and reduced shanks for wood and light-duty metal drilling.
High-speed bits cut faster and last longer when drilling hard materials.

WARNING
with side shields during power tool
operation or when blowing dust . If the
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask .
a. Set the drilling mode by pressing the drilling
mode button.
b. Check that the direction-of-rotation selector
is at the correct setting (forward or reverse).
c. Secure the material to be drilled in a vise or
with clamps to keep it from turning as the drill
bit rotates.
d. Hold the drill firmly and place the bit at the
point to be drilled.
e. Squeeze the trigger switch to start the drill.
f. Move the drill bit into the workpiece, applying only enough pressure to keep the bit "biting".
Do not force the drill or apply side pressure to elongate a hole. Let the tool do the work.
g. When drilling hard, smooth surfaces, first use a center punch to mark the desired location of
the hole. This will prevent the drill bit from slipping off-center as the hole is started.
h. 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.
There are two rules for drilling hard materials. First, the harder the material, the greater the
pressure you need to apply to the tool. Second, the harder the material, the slower the speed
should be. If the hole to be drilled is fairly large, drill a smaller hole first, then enlarge to the
required size with a larger bit; it's often faster in the long run than drilling a larger hole initially.
