How to use

To use the Makita masonry drill bit, insert the shank securely into the chuck of your power drill and tighten it firmly. Ensure the drill is set to the rotary-hammer mode if your tool supports it, or the standard rotary mode for softer masonry. Position the tip of the bit at the desired location and apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a perpendicular angle to the surface. Avoid excessive force, which can cause the bit to overheat or break. Periodically retract the bit from the hole during deep drilling to clear out dust and debris.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drill chuck supports a 6 mm shank diameter
• Ensure the 150 mm length is sufficient for the depth of your intended holes
• Confirm the material you are drilling is compatible with masonry bits

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection when operating power tools. Allow the drill bit to cool down if it becomes hot during extended use to prolong its service life.
