line with the bit until the fastener is seated at the 

desired depth in the workpiece.

Drilling 

iMPORTAnT:

 For MASONRY, such as brick, cement, cinder 

block, etc., use carbide-tipped masonry bits.

1.  Place drill bit in contact with the workpiece. 

nOTE: 

Use sharp drill bit only.

2.  Pull the trigger switch applying pressure in a straight 

line with the bit until it reaches the desired depth.

WARNING: 

Tool may stall if overloaded causing a 

sudden twist. Always expect the stall. Grip the tool 

firmly to control the twisting action and avoid injury.

3.  Keep the motor running when pulling the bit back out 

of a drilled hole to prevent jamming.

To minimize stalling or breaking through the 

material, reduce pressure on drill and ease the bit 

through the last fractional part of the hole.

•  Large holes (5/16" to 1/2" [7.9 mm to 12.7 mm]) in steel 

can be made easier if a pilot hole (5/32" to 3/16" [4 mm 
to 4.8 mm]) is drilled first.

•  If drilling thin material or material that is prone to 

splinter, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage 
to the workpiece.
