How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible drill chuck and tighten to prevent slipping. Select a suitable drilling speed and apply steady pressure, keeping the drill perpendicular to the work surface for a straight hole. For wood and plastics, standard drilling technique is suitable; for soft metals, use lower speed and cooling or lubrication as required. After use, clean debris from the flutes and store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material: higher speeds for wood and plastics, reduced speeds with light lubrication for soft metals. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace when the cutting edge is dull to maintain hole quality.
