How to use

Secure the paddle drill bit in a compatible drill chuck or quick-change adapter that accepts HEX shanks. Mark the drilling location and, if required, start at low speed to position the point precisely. Increase speed and apply moderate, steady pressure while allowing the bit to cut; avoid forcing the bit to prevent burning or splintering. Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips for cleaner holes and to reduce heat buildup. For through-holes or deeper holes, support the workpiece and clamp it to prevent movement.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and hearing protection, and clamp the workpiece securely before drilling. Match drill speed to the wood type—slower speeds for hardwoods and higher speeds for softwoods—and replace the bit when the cutting edge becomes dull to maintain efficient performance.
