Holding the tool
Hold the tool only by the handle when performing an

Drilling operation
Drilling in wood
When drilling in wood, the best results are obtained with
wood drills equipped with a guide screw. The guide
screw makes drilling easier by pulling the bit into the
workpiece.
Drilling in metal
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
indentation and start drilling.
Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The
exceptions are iron and brass which should be drilled
dry.
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.
Always secure small workpieces in a vise or
•
similar hold-down device.
