HOW TO USE:

1. Secure the Bit: Insert the straight shank of the drill bit into the chuck of your drill. Ensure the bit is centered and tighten the chuck securely to prevent the bit from slipping during use.
2. Mark the Spot: Mark the precise location where you intend to drill a hole. A center punch can be used on metal surfaces to create a small indentation that helps the bit start accurately without walking.
3. Start Drilling: Place the tip of the bit on your marked spot. Start the drill at a low speed to establish the initial hole, then gradually increase the speed to a suitable level for the material you are drilling.
4. Apply Steady Pressure: Apply steady, consistent pressure to the drill. Avoid excessive force, which can cause the bit to overheat or break.
5. Clear Chips and Debris: For deeper holes, periodically withdraw the drill bit to clear out chips and debris from the flutes, which helps prevent clogging and heat buildup.
