How to use

Secure the drill bit in a properly tightened 6 mm chuck. Mark the drilling point and, when drilling metal, consider using a centre punch to improve accuracy. Use appropriate rotational speed for the material: lower speeds for harder metals, higher speeds for wood. Apply steady, even pressure without forcing the bit; allow the cutter to do the work. For metal drilling, use cutting fluid or lubrication to reduce heat and prolong bit life. Clear chips periodically to prevent clogging and overheating.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. When drilling metal, clamp the workpiece securely and start at a slow speed to maintain accuracy. Replace the bit when signs of wear or dullness appear to maintain hole quality and safety.
