How to use

Insert the SDS Plus shank into the rotary hammer chuck until it locks according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Select hammer-drilling mode on the rotary hammer if available. Hold the drill perpendicular to the work surface, apply steady pressure and start drilling at low speed to establish the hole before increasing to normal speed. Clear dust from the hole periodically to maintain drilling efficiency and prevent overheating. Replace the bit if wear or damage is visible to preserve drilling accuracy and safety.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use with SDS Plus rotary hammers rated for the intended material and wear appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and ear protection. Use a vacuum or compressed-air dust extraction where practical to reduce silica dust. Avoid excessive side pressure to prolong bit life and ensure straight holes.
