To ensure accuracy, mark the intended hole position using a hammer and centre punch.
WARNING
The drill bit and the workpiece will become very hot when drilling metal. DO NOT
touch the bit and never allow it to come into contact with combustible materials when
hot. Always use a suitable lubricant or cutting fluid, and drill at appropriate speeds.
●
ONLY apply moderate pressure to the drill bit, ensuring efficient cutting and
prolonged drill bit life.

Use a countersink bit to remove sharp burrs from the hole, preventing cuts and
other kinds of injury.
WARNING
If the power tool gets excessively hot in use, stop using the tool immediately and
allow to cool before continuing work. The cooling period can be reduced by operating
the drill at maximum speed with no load. Always make sure the Motor Vents (5) are
not blocked and do not allow dust to enter the body of the tool through the Motor
Vents; dust, especially metallic dust, may damage or destroy the tool.
