then pull the switch trigger. Do not force the tool. Light

pressure gives best results. Keep the tool in position

and prevent it from slipping away from the hole.

Do not apply more pressure when the hole becomes

clogged with chips or particles. Instead, run the tool at

an idle, then remove the drill bit partially from the hole.

By repeating this several times, the hole will be cleaned

out and normal drilling may be resumed.
