How to use

To use the Bosch SDS-plus-5 hammer drill bit, insert the shank into the SDS-plus chuck of your rotary hammer until it clicks into place. Ensure the tool is set to the hammer drilling mode before starting. Apply steady, moderate pressure while drilling to allow the bit to clear dust effectively. Avoid excessive lateral force, which can cause the bit to bind or break.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your power tool is equipped with an SDS-plus chuck system
• Ensure the 5.5 mm diameter meets your specific anchor or fastener requirements
• Check that the 460 mm length is sufficient for the depth of the material you intend to drill

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles and ear protection, when operating a rotary hammer. Allow the drill bit to cool down periodically during deep drilling to maintain the integrity of the carbide tip.
