• Diameter: 1.8 cm
• Compatible tool type: rotary hammer
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry, stone and similar hard substrates
• Construction: impact-resistant cutting geometry and durable steel body

How to use

Select a compatible rotary hammer and secure the bit according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Mark the drilling position, start at low speed to establish the hole and then apply steady pressure while allowing the hammer action to do the work. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and prevent clogging; use water cooling only if recommended by the rotary hammer tool guidelines. Replace the bit if cutting performance noticeably declines.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves. Ensure the rotary hammer is set to the correct mode for hammer drilling and verify the shank is properly locked in the chuck. Match bit diameter to anchor or fastener size and avoid excessive side loading to extend tool life.
