How to use

Install the Bosch 2608597643 auger bit into a drill with a 13 mm chuck, ensuring the hex shank is fully seated and tightened. Mark the drilling point on the workpiece, start at low speed to locate the hole and then increase speed as appropriate for the wood type. Use steady pressure and allow the bit to cut; clear chips by withdrawing periodically on deep holes. For through-holes, continue until the desired depth is reached.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate eye and hearing protection, and secure the workpiece before drilling. Use recommended drill speeds for the specific wood type and avoid excessive side load to reduce the risk of bit breakage. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace if necessary.
