Operating Tips

You will extend the life of your bits and do neater work if you always put the bit in contact with
the work before pulling the trigger. During the operation, hold the tool firmly and exert light,
steady pressure. Too much pressure at low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure will
keep the bit from cutting and cause excess friction by sliding over the surface. This can be
damaging to both tool and bit.
Drill Bits
Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear. Use only bits that are sharp and in good condition.
TWIST BITS: Available with straight and reduced shanks for wood and light duty metal drilling.
High speed bits cut faster and last longer on hard materials.
CARBIDE TIPPED BITS: Used for drilling stone, concrete, plaster, cement and other unusually
hard nonmetals. Use continuous heavy feed pressure when employing carbide tip bits.
