Choose the Correct Fit
Use a compatible 7/16 in hex-shank Selfeed bit, auger or hole saw with a diameter of 1 in or larger. Check that the coupling can clear the hole.
Check the full assembly against the required reach. Keep enough working room to hold the drill and extension in line.
Installation & Care
Disconnect the tool before fitting the bit. Seat both connections securely and tighten the bit with the included hex key.
Stop before clearing debris or changing bits. Inspect the shaft and retention hardware; replace bent or damaged parts.
