Instruccions de funcionament
Proper operation ensures efficient cutting and extends the life of your hole saw.
General Cutting Procedure:
- Marca el centre: Clearly mark the center point for your desired hole on the workpiece.
- Position the Pilot Bit: Place the pilot drill bit directly on the marked center.
- Comença lentament: Begin drilling at a slow speed to allow the pilot bit to penetrate and the hole saw teeth to engage the material.
- Increase Speed (as appropriate): Once the hole saw is stable and cutting, gradually increase the drill speed. Maintain consistent pressure.
- Xips transparents: For deeper cuts, periodically withdraw the saw to clear chips and allow the saw to cool. This is especially important for metal cutting.
- Completa el tall: Continue drilling until the hole is fully cut through the material.
Tall de metall:
When cutting metal, use a lower RPM and apply cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend saw life. The T3 Technology and optimized tooth design are specifically engineered for efficient metal penetration.

Plug Ejection (Speed Slot):
The unique Speed Slot design allows for easy removal of cut material plugs. After completing a cut, use a screwdriver or similar tool to leverage the plug out through the wide staircase slot. This prevents plugs from becoming stuck and speeds up your work.
