- Align the hole cutter with the pilot bit. The pilot bit should extend through the center of the hole cutter.
- Ensure the hole cutter is properly seated and secured to the pilot bit assembly. Some models may require a hex key (included) to tighten a set screw on the side of the hole cutter to the pilot bit shaft.
- Verify that all components are firmly attached before proceeding.

Instruccions de funcionament
This hole saw kit is designed for cutting quick, precise holes in various sheet metals. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection and gloves.
- Preparar la peça de treball: Secure the material you intend to drill to a stable surface to prevent movement during operation.
- Mark the Hole: Clearly mark the center point where you wish to drill the hole.
- Posicioneu el trepant: Place the pilot bit directly on the marked center point. Ensure the drill is held firmly and perpendicular to the workpiece.
- Començar la perforació: Start the drill at a low to medium speed. Apply steady, even pressure. The split point pilot drill bit will guide the hole saw, preventing it from walking.
- Maintain Speed and Pressure: Once the hole saw begins to cut, maintain a consistent speed and pressure. Refer to the Recommended Speeds (RPM) table below for optimal performance based on material type.
- Neteja els residus: The integrated flange prevents over-drilling, and the ejection spring assists in slug removal once the cut is complete. Periodically clear chips and debris to prevent overheating and ensure a clean cut.
- Completa el tall: Continue drilling until the hole saw passes completely through the material.
Recommended Speeds (RPM) for various materials:
| Mida de la serra de forat | Acer inoxidable | Acer suau | Ferro | Coure i llautó |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7/8" (22 mm) | 310 | 470 | 510 | 530 |
| 1-1/8" (29 mm) | 270 | 410 | 450 | 460 |

Resolució de problemes
Encountering issues? Refer to the common problems and solutions below:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Hole saw not cutting efficiently or teeth chipping | Incorrect RPM for material, lack of lubrication, worn or damaged carbide teeth, excessive pressure. | Refer to the RPM table for correct speeds. Apply cutting lubricant. Inspect and replace hole saw if teeth are damaged. Apply steady, not excessive, pressure. |
| Pilot bit walking or not starting cleanly | Pilot bit not securely tightened, dull pilot bit, uneven pressure. | Ensure pilot bit is securely fastened in the drill chuck. Replace pilot bit if dull. Apply even pressure and ensure the drill is perpendicular to the surface. |
| Hole saw getting stuck or overheating | Insufficient chip clearance, lack of lubrication, incorrect speed. | Clear chips frequently. Use cutting lubricant. Adjust RPM according to the material. |
| Difficulty removing slug after cutting | Debris buildup, spring mechanism obstructed. | Ensure the ejection spring is clean and free of debris. The spring is designed to assist in slug removal. |
