FAQs
What is SDS-plus?
SDS-plus refers to a specific type of chuck system used on rotary hammers, designed for quick bit changes and efficient power transmission. This drill bit's shank is shaped to fit this system.
What materials can this drill bit be used on?
This SDS-plus hammer drill bit is specifically designed for drilling into hard materials such as concrete, brick, stone, and limestone.
How do I know when to replace the drill bit?
The drill bit features a wear mark. When the visible mark indicates that the hole diameter is no longer within the tolerance required for metal anchor setting, it is time to replace the bit.
Can I use this drill bit with a standard drill?
No, this is an SDS-plus drill bit designed for SDS-plus rotary hammers. It will not fit or function correctly in a standard drill chuck.
What is the advantage of the Activeteq centring tip?
The Activeteq centring tip provides immediate guidance, ensuring the drill starts precisely where you intend without the bit wandering or slipping, leading to more accurate holes.
What does PGM-certified mean?
PGM-certified means the drill bit has been tested and certified by the PGM Masonry Drill Bit Association Board, guaranteeing it meets strict standards for accuracy, tolerance, and performance.
What is the difference between working length and total length?
The total length (465mm) is the full length of the drill bit, including the shank. The working length (400mm) is the portion of the bit designed for drilling into the material.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is not engaging with the rotary hammer.
Ensure the drill bit shank is clean and free of debris. Make sure you are using an SDS-plus compatible rotary hammer and that the chuck is properly opened to accept the bit.
Excessive vibration during drilling.
While the AWB technology reduces vibration, some level is normal. Ensure the bit is correctly seated and that you are not forcing the drill. Check for damage to the bit or the rotary hammer.
Drilling performance is slow or ineffective.
The material may be harder than anticipated, or the bit may be worn. Check the wear mark; if the hole diameter is no longer within tolerance, it's time to replace the bit. Ensure the correct drilling mode is selected on the rotary hammer.
