Installation & Operation

1. Mount the bit securely in a compatible drill chuck, ensuring the hexagonal shank is fully seated and tightened.
2. Position the drill perpendicular to the work surface and align the self-feeding screw point with the desired drilling location.
3. Start drilling at low speed to allow the self-feeding screw point to engage and draw the bit into the material.
4. Maintain steady pressure while allowing the self-feeding design to control the feed rate through the material.
5. Continue drilling through nails and wood without stopping, utilizing the patented nail-cutting capability.
6. Complete the hole and withdraw the bit while the drill is still running to clear debris from the flutes.
