Apply steady, moderate pressure while allowing the drill to do the work. Use the built-in light to illuminate the work area when needed. After use, remove the bit, switch off the tool, and store the drill and battery in a dry place.

Recommendations

For best results, match bit type and size to the material being drilled, start with a low speed for pilot holes, and avoid overloading the motor by applying excessive pressure. Regularly charge the battery and store it at moderate temperatures to maintain battery life. Wear suitable eye protection and follow general safety practices when operating the drill.
