- Use in hammer mode with a compatible SDS-Plus rotary hammer for optimal impact energy transfer.
- Drill in controlled bursts to manage heat buildup; allow brief cooling pauses to prolong bit life.
- Keep holes clean of dust and debris to maintain accuracy and reduce bit binding.
- Match bit selection to the task—reserve the 1/4 in. diameter for small-diameter anchors and precise pilot holes in masonry.
