How to use

Install the STANLEY STA54097 drill bit into an SDS-plus rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the chuck locks the shank securely. Mark the drilling position, set the drill to the hammer mode suitable for concrete or masonry, and start drilling at low speed to establish the hole before increasing to normal operating speed. Apply steady axial pressure without forcing the bit; withdraw periodically to clear dust and prevent clogging for more efficient cutting. After reaching the required depth, retract the bit and clean the drilled hole before inserting anchors or fasteners.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling masonry. Match drill speed and hammer settings to material hardness and consider using a vacuum dust extraction or a drill stop when consistent depth control is required.
