How to use

Select the drill bit size appropriate for the screw or hole required, insert the bit into the drill chuck and tighten securely. Mark the drilling point on the timber, clamp the workpiece if necessary to prevent movement, and drill at a controlled speed with steady pressure to achieve a clean hole. For larger diameters or hardwood, start with a smaller pilot hole if precise centering is needed. Clear wood chips from the hole periodically to maintain effective cutting.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection. Match drill speed and feed pressure to the timber type: slower speeds and moderate pressure for hardwood, higher speeds for softwood. Ensure the drill chuck is compatible with the bit shank and that the bit is securely fastened before operation.
