Installation & Use Tips
- Secure the drill in a standard 3‑jaw chuck, ensuring the shank is fully seated.
- Set the drill speed between 1,500–2,500 RPM for metal and 2,500–3,500 RPM for plastic or PVC.
- Use cutting fluid or light oil for prolonged metal drilling to reduce heat buildup.
- Apply steady pressure; let the drill do the work to avoid wobble and maintain hole precision.
- After each use, clean the cutting edges with a soft brush and store in a dry environment.
