Choose the Correct Fit
Match the guide to a cable bit between 3/8 and 3/4 in diameter. It is a positioning aid for wall-cavity work, so also choose the bit length and drill for the route.
Check the wall for concealed wiring, pipework and other hazards before drilling. Isolate affected services and choose a safe entry point for the guide and bit.
Installation & Care
Position the bit with the formed guide end before starting the drill. Keep hands out of the rotating bit’s path and follow the included placement instructions.
Use controlled drilling pressure and stop to reposition if the bit shifts. Inspect the hooks and grip after use and replace a bent or damaged guide.

Important Product Questions
Will it work with every long drill bit?
It is specified for Milwaukee cable bits from 3/8 to 3/4 in diameter. Check other bit types separately.
Can it tell me whether the drilling path is clear?
No. Inspect the wall and locate concealed services before drilling. The guide helps position the bit; it does not detect wiring or pipes.
When should I position the guide?
Set the bit’s location before starting the drill, keep hands clear of the rotating path and follow the included instructions.
