The icon is a little different to what I've seen on others and I don't know how to tell otherwise.

Thanks!

You'll be fine. I've found applying pressure for about ten seconds, then clearing the hole, rinse and repeat, works well when using a "hammer drill" like this. Use speed 2.

Also, use a HEPA filter equipped vacuum to capture the dust as it's created, and wear an N95 dust mask while drilling. Silicosis is no joke
