nOTE: Large [5/16" (8 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm)] holes in steel
can be made easier if a pilot hole [5/32" (4 mm) to 3/16"
(5 mm)] is drilled first.
nOTE: When using a cutting lubricant, be sure not to get
the lubricant on the tool.
Drilling in Wood
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power
while applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can
be made with the same twist drills used for metal. These
bits may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips
from the flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed
up with a block of wood.
Drilling in Masonry
WARNING: Never drill into masonry which is
reinforced such as rebar reinforced concrete.
WARNING: For applications which produce a
considerable amount of dust such as core drilling,
always use an auxiliary dust attachment with an M
Class rated dust extractor such as DWV902M.
Use dry core bits. Keep even force on the drill but not so
much that you crack the brittle material. A smooth, even
flow of dust indicates the proper drilling rate.
Use sharp drill bits only. For masonry, such as brick, cement,
cinder block, etc., use dry diamond core bits
nOTE: Always use core bits designed for dry drilling.
Troubleshooting Drilling in Masonry
Problem
Core bit does not cut.
Material too hard for core bit.
Segments look glazed and polished • Drill in abrasive material to
Dust accumulating in core bit.
Accumulating dust slows down the
drilling speed.
Rotating speed may not be
appropriate.
Segments wear too fast.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/

• Choose a more appropriate core bit
(with softer segments).
re-expose diamond segments.
• Disengage drill bit regularly to
evacuate cuttings. Check filter on
dust extraction. Clean or replace
as required.
• Refer to the Maximum
Recommended Capacities for
proper speed ratings.
• Choose a more appropriate core bit
(with harder segments).
• Reduce the pressure applied on
the core bit.
