HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Always wear safety glasses before operating any power tools.
2. Select the Right Drill: Ensure your drill is compatible with a straight shank bit and that the chuck can securely hold a 0.110" diameter.
3. Insert the Bit: Loosen the drill chuck, insert the shank of the drill bit, and tighten the chuck securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
4. Prepare the Workpiece: Mark the drilling location clearly on your workpiece. For metal, use a center punch to create a small indentation to prevent the bit from wandering.
5. Drill the Hole: Start with low to medium speed and apply steady, consistent pressure. Allow the bit to do the cutting. If drilling into metal, use a cutting fluid to reduce heat and improve performance.
6. Clear Debris: Periodically pull the bit out of the hole to clear chips and debris, especially in deeper holes. This prevents clogging and overheating.
7. Finish: Once the hole is drilled to the desired depth, withdraw the bit and turn off the drill.
