• If not drilling through holes, set the depth gauge to the desired hole depth and tighten the wing nut to secure the depth gauge and auxiliary handle. • Be sure the “lock-on” button is disengaged. • Mark the location(s) on work piece where the holes are to be drilled. • Secure the work piece with clamps or other means. • Wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Wear a dust mask or respirator to prevent inhalation of wood dust.

To drill the hole: • Plug the tool into the power source. • Place tip of the on the work piece where the hole is being drilled. • Apply downward pressure and slowly depress the switch trigger. • When using a twist drill, withdraw the bit from the hole frequently to clear built up wood chips from the flutes. Clearing the flutes avoids overheating the bit and burning the wood. • When drilling plastics use slower speeds to avoid melting the material. • Reduce pressure on the drill just before the bit breaks through the work piece to avoid splintering the wood. (Note: Clamping a backing block to the work piece will keep the back of the wood from splintering. If not using a backing block when using spade bits and hole saws, reduce pressure as soon as the bit point breaks through the work piece and complete drilling the hole from the opposite side.)

English Drilling in metal Important Note: Use good quality high-speed steel twist drill bits.

With the drill unplugged, install the bit and perform the pre-drilling checks as stated in the proceeding wood drilling section.

To make starting the hole easier and keep the bit from “walking” on the , use a center punch to make a small impression in the metal. Place the drill bit tip into the impression and start the drill by slowly depressing the switch trigger. Apply only enough pressure to keep the bit cutting into the metal.

Caution: DO NOT FORCE the tool. Too much pressure may cause bits to break, resulting in bodily injury. Excessive pressure will cause bits to overheat, damaging the drill bit. Too little pressure keeps the bit from cutting, dulling the bit edges due to excessive friction.

If drilling large holes, first drill a smaller hole and then enlarge it to the desired size. Using lubricants such as oil on the point will help cool the bit, increase drilling action and extend drill bit life.

Clamp a backing block to the work piece to prevent binding and distortion when the bit breaks through the metal.
