Safety Information

Always prioritize safety when using drill bits. Failure to follow safety guidelines can result in injury or damage to property.

• Eye Protection: Always wear safety glasses or goggles to protect against flying debris.
• Hand Protection: Wear appropriate gloves to protect hands from sharp edges and heat.
• Secure Workpiece: Ensure the material being drilled is securely clamped or held to prevent movement.
• Correct Bit Selection: Use the correct drill bit type and size for the material and application.
• Proper Speed: Adjust drill speed according to the material and bit size. Lower speeds for larger bits and harder materials.
• Cooling: For metal drilling, use cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend bit life.
• Inspect Bits: Before each use, inspect drill bits for damage, dullness, or cracks. Do not use damaged bits.
• Unplug Tool: Always unplug the power tool before changing drill bits.

Setup and Bit Selection

1. Selecting the Correct Drill Bit:

• Wood Drill Bits: Feature a pointed tip for accurate positioning and clean holes in wood.
• HSS-R Metal Drill Bits: Designed for drilling in various metals. Use appropriate cutting fluid for optimal performance and longevity.
• Masonry Drill Bits: Equipped with a carbide tip for drilling into brick, concrete, and stone. Use with a hammer drill function if available and appropriate for the material.

2. Installing the Drill Bit:

1. Ensure your drill is unplugged or its battery is removed.
2. Open the drill chuck by rotating it counter-clockwise.
3. Insert the straight shank of the selected drill bit into the chuck, ensuring it is seated deeply and centrally.
4. Tighten the chuck securely by rotating it clockwise. For keyless chucks, hand-tighten firmly. For keyed chucks, use the chuck key.
5. Verify the bit is firmly held and does not wobble.

Operating Instructions

General Drilling Guidelines:

1. Marking: Clearly mark the drilling location on your workpiece.
2. Pilot Hole (Optional): For larger holes or harder materials, consider drilling a smaller pilot hole first.
3. Starting the Hole: Place the tip of the drill bit on the marked spot. Start the drill at a slow speed to prevent the bit from wandering.
4. Applying Pressure: Apply steady, even pressure in line with the drill bit. Avoid excessive force, which can overheat the bit or damage the material.
5. Maintaining Speed: Once the bit has started to cut, increase the speed to the appropriate setting for the material.
6. Clearing Debris: Periodically withdraw the bit slightly to clear chips and debris, especially when drilling deep holes.
7. Finishing the Hole: Reduce pressure as the bit breaks through the material to prevent splintering or sudden jerking.

Specific Material Considerations:

• Wood: Use wood drill bits. For clean exit holes, place a scrap piece of wood behind your workpiece.
• Metal: Use HSS-R metal drill bits. Apply cutting fluid to reduce friction and heat. Maintain a consistent feed rate.
• Masonry: Use masonry drill bits. If your drill has a hammer function, activate it for masonry drilling. Apply firm, consistent pressure.

Maintenance and Storage

Cleaning:

• After each use, clean drill bits to remove debris, dust, and residue. A wire brush can be used for stubborn material.
• For metal bits, wipe off any cutting fluid residue.

Lubrication and Protection:

• Apply a light coat of machine oil or rust preventative to metal drill bits, especially HSS-R bits, to prevent corrosion during storage.

Storage:

• Store the drill bits in their original metal case. This protects them from damage, keeps them organized, and prevents them from dulling or rusting prematurely.
• Keep the case in a dry environment to avoid moisture buildup.

Sharpening:

Dull drill bits can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of breakage. While sharpening services are available, for optimal performance, consider replacing bits that show significant wear or damage.
