Recommendations for Tool Operation
• When drilling, always apply pressure in a straight line
with the bit, but do not push hard enough to stall the
motor or deflect thebit. A smooth even flow of material
indicates the proper drillingrate.
• If drilling thin material or material that is prone to
splinter, use a wood “back-up” block to prevent damage
to theworkpiece.

WARNING:
• Do not use this tool to mix or pump easily
combustible or explosive fluids (benzine,
alcohol,etc.).

labelledaccordingly.
