9.1 Drilling in Metal
 For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for metal or steel drilling.
 Turn drilling mode selector to drilling mode.
 Use a center punch to mark the hole location on the workpiece.
 Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the drill from slipping off the starting point.
 Maintain a speed and pressure which allows cutting without overheating the bit. Applying
too much pressure will: overheat the drill, wear the bearing, bend or burn bits, produce off-
center or irregular shaped holes.
 When drilling large holes in metal it is recommended to drill with a small drill at first, then
finish with a larger drill, also, lubricate the drill with oil to improve drilling action and
increase drill life.
9.2 Drilling in Wood
 For maximum performance, use high speed steel bits for wood drilling.
 Turn the drilling mode selector to drilling mode.
 Secure the workpiece to prevent it from turning when drilling.
 Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the drill from slipping off the starting point.
Increase the speed as the drill bites into the material.
 When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece to prevent
ragged or splintered edges on the back side of the hole.
 Do not lock the trigger in the “on” position when the drill may need to be stopped suddenly.
9.3 Drilling in Masonry/concrete
Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
 For maximum performance use tungsten carbide-tipped masonry impact bits when drilling
holes in brick, tile, concrete, etc.
 Turn the drilling mode selector to impact mode.
 Apply light pressure and medium speed for best results in brick.
 Apply additional pressure and high speed for hard materials such as concrete.
 When drilling in tile, practice on a scrap piece to determine the best speed and pressure.
 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when drilling in walls/ceilings/floors. The
drill may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
A drill contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
9.4 stop drilling immediately when :
If any of the following events occur during normal operation, the power supply should be shut
off at once and tool thoroughly inspected by a qualified person and repaired if necessary:
 The rotating parts get stuck or speed drops abnormally low
 The tool shakes abnormally accompanied by some unusual noise.
 The motor housing gets abnormal hot.
 Heavy sparks occur around the motor area
