How to Use

Step 1 - Prepare the Material

Place the tile or slab on a solid, non-slip surface such as a wood or concrete plate. The original instructions call for water to be applied to the drilling area. For dry drilling, follow the manufacturer's recommended dry-drilling procedure and avoid using water unless specifically permitted for the application.

Step 2 - Start the Hole

Start drilling at approximately a 75-85 degree angle to allow the diamond bit to bite into the material. Drill to a depth of approximately 1-2 mm (1/16") to establish the opening.

Step 3 - Complete the Hole

Gradually bring the drill to a 90-degree position and use a controlled swinging motion to finish drilling the hole. Use very little pressure and allow the diamond bit to do the cutting. Do not force the drill straight down.

Step 4 - Remove Debris

After completing the hole, remove the drilling debris and clean the area before installing the required fixture or fitting.

Important: Follow appropriate drilling practices for the material being drilled and use suitable personal protective equipment.

Disclaimer: Wax coolant may darken the immediate area around a drilled hole when used on porous materials.
