Choose the Correct Fit
Pull down the red QUIK-LOK collar to release the pilot bit from the arbor. Remove the pilot from the cutting assembly before adjusting the hex arms.
Use the triangle indicator to set the desired size and make both arms the same length. Reassemble the pilot bit and arbor to the cutting assembly before drilling.
Installation & Care
Align the grooves to press the debris-shield collar into the shield. Then insert the cutter so the QUIK-LOK arbor shank passes fully through the collar.
Use eye and respiratory protection and follow the drill’s safety instructions. The package warns against use on or near live circuits; check the cutting area before making a clearance hole.
