• Support and secure work properly, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Use appropriate and required safety
equipment, as instructed in the Safety
Instructions.
• Secure and maintain work area, as
instructed in the Safety Instructions.
• Run the drill very slowly, using light
pressure, until the hole is started enough
to keep the drill bit from slipping out of it.
• Apply pressure in a straight line with the
bit. Use enough pressure to keep the
