To prevent the bit from slipping when starting a hole,
make an indentation with a center-punch and hammer
at the point to be drilled. Place the point of the bit in the

carbide tipped bit. Do not apply more pressure when the
hole becomes clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run
the tool at an idle, then remove the bit partially from the hole.
By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned out.
After drilling the hole, use the blow-out bulb to clean the
dust out of the hole.
Drilling operation

CAUTION:
• Pressing excessively on the tool will not speed up
the drilling. In fact, this excessive pressure will
only serve to damage the tip of your bit, decrease
the tool performance and shorten the service life
of the tool.
• There is a tremendous force exerted on the tool/bit
at the time of hole break through. Hold the tool
firmly and exert care when the bit begins to break
through the workpiece.
• A stuck bit can be removed simply by setting the
reversing switch to reverse rotation in order to
back out. However, the tool may back out abruptly
if you do not hold it firmly.
