How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material: lower speeds for metals and higher speeds for wood, using steady pressure without excessive feed force. For metal drilling, apply cutting fluid or lubricant as needed to reduce heat build-up and preserve the cutting edge. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes. After use, clean the bit of debris and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. When drilling metal, clamp the workpiece securely and mark the drilling point with a centre punch to improve accuracy. Replace the bit if signs of rounding or excessive wear appear to maintain hole quality and reduce risk of breakage.
