hard nonmetal materials. Use continuous, heavy feed pressure when using carbide-tipped
bits.

tighten the chuck jaws on the bit . Friction burn or hand injury is possible
Do not use bits with damaged shanks .
Use protective gloves when removing the bit from the tool, or first
allow the bit to cool down . The bit may be hot after prolonged use .
