Instructions (for maximum durability)
1: DIP IN WATER before drilling and about every 5 seconds during drilling (more often when going through harder materials). We find dipping in water is more effective at cooling the Porcelain bits than spraying.
2: FIRM PRESSURE: Let the bit do the work—do not apply excessive pressure. Place the drill bit on the specified mark, apply pressure, listen for a slight CRUNCH, and start your drilling process. Drill straight into the hole, and do not wiggle the drill.
3: USE PROPER DRILLING SPEED: Speedbit: 2,300 rpms and slowed down while breaking through the hole. NOTE the higher speed for the Speedbit as most other spear point bits recommend slower speeds of 400-800 rpms.
4: Handheld Drills Only.
5: Do not use dull or damaged bits.
6: Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during use and when handling bit.
