Fit it only to a compatible BIG HAWG arbor. Set the projection and tighten the retaining hardware as directed by the arbor instructions.
Installation & Care
Check for hidden services and structural hardware before drilling. Brace the tool for the hole saw’s cutting load.

Important Product Questions
How does it differ from the clean-wood pilot?
This 5/16 in pilot has a carbide tip for nail-embedded wood and abrasive materials. The separate clean-wood pilot is intended for clean wood.
Does this include a hole saw or arbor?
This product is the replacement pilot bit. Match it to the compatible BIG HAWG saw and arbor assembly.
Can I use it wherever hidden metal may be present?
Nail resistance is not permission to cut hidden wiring, plumbing or structural hardware. Inspect and clear the intended drilling path first.
