OPERATION
DRILLING IN WOOD
For maximum performance, use wood-
boring brad-point drill bits (available
separately) or brad-point bits (available
separately) for wood drilling.
1. 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.
2. Begin drilling at a very low speed to
prevent the bit from slipping off the
starting point.
3. Increase speed as the drill bit bites into
the material.
DRILLING IN METAL
For maximum performance, use high speed
steel bits (available separately) for metal or
steel drilling.
1. When drilling metals, use light oil on
the drill bit to keep it from overheating.
The oil will prolong the life of the bit and
increase the drilling action.
2. Begin drilling at a very low speed to
prevent the bit from slipping off the
starting point.
3. Maintain a speed and a pressure that
allow cutting without overheating the
bit. Applying too much pressure will:
• Overheat the drill/driver
• Wear the bearings
• Bend or burn bits
• Produce off-center or irregularly shaped
holes
WARNING:
To avoid serious
personal injury, always remove the battery
pack from the tool when cleaning or
performing any maintenance. Contact a
qualied service technician for all repairs.
WARNING:
When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts. Use
of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage. For more
information, call the toll-free helpline, at

WARNING:
Avoid using solvents
when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth
to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Using compressed
air may be the most effective cleaning
method. Always wear safety goggles
when cleaning tools with compressed air.
