      WARNING:

      Be careful of the drilled rivets, as they may be hot.

      NOTE:
      • Pressing the drill too firmly will cause the rivet to turn and result in the rivet not being drilled through.
      • Prying the rivets with the drill may damage the rivet installation holes or drill bit.
    4. Using a vacuum cleaner, remove the rivet fragments and shavings from the drilled areas.
