How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a compatible drill, ensure the chuck is tightened and set the drill to an appropriate speed for the material being drilled. Mark the drilling point, apply steady axial pressure and start at low speed to establish the hole before increasing speed. Withdraw occasionally to clear chips and avoid overheating, and use cutting lubricant when drilling metals to prolong tool life.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material: lower speeds for metals, higher speeds for wood and plastics. Store the drill bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect before use for any signs of wear or damage.
