Preparation of working
Firstly, you need to mark the particular position of the holes over the concrete with the pencil. Check all the positions which are on the mark carefully. Determine the depth, how much it is required to drill. If the Eastman drill has stopped bars included, set the drill in the exact depth position.
If the drill does not have any stopping bars you could use masking tape on a certain position of the hammer drill bits where it needs to be stopped.

The pilot holes are the shallow hole which would help to make the real hole. You may continue drilling with more power in the pilot hole for some main hole. After making the holes also bring the drilling back in a decent manner.
Clean the area
After drilling it is very important to clean the area below the concrete, as it may get the dust of the sights. You may use a compressed air vacuum for this. But never remove the goggle throughout the drilling session as this is extremely important.
