How to use

Select an appropriate drill speed and clamp the workpiece securely before drilling. Insert the straight shank into the drill chuck and tighten the chuck firmly.

For metal, use cutting lubricant where appropriate to extend tool life and improve chip evacuation. Clear chips regularly and avoid excessive lateral force to maintain hole accuracy and prevent bit breakage.

Usage recommendations

Use proper personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. When drilling metal, consider center-punching starting points to reduce bit walking. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect for wear or damage before reuse.
