How to use

Fit the Bahco 9629-40 into a compatible drill chuck and tighten securely. Mark the drilling position on the workpiece, start drilling at low speed to ensure correct centring, then increase speed to cut the hole. Apply steady pressure without forcing; withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips if required. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety goggles and hearing protection when drilling.

Recommendations

Use with drills that accept standard round or hex shanks and avoid excessive lateral force to prolong tool life. For smoothest results, clamp the workpiece and pilot with a smaller bit if precise positioning is required.
