Installation & Operation

1. Mount the bit securely in a 1/4 IN (6.4 mm) or larger power drill chuck, ensuring proper engagement with the hexagonal shank.
2. Mark the drilling location and ensure adequate clearance for the 16" overall length during operation.
3. Begin drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase speed as needed for the specific material being drilled.
4. Apply steady, controlled pressure while allowing the bit to cut at its own pace through the material.
5. Use the center wire pulling hole as needed for electrical installations, threading wire through after drilling is complete.
6. Clean the bit after use and store in a dry location to maintain the heat-treated finish and cutting performance.
