How to use the diamond Core bit:
The diamond Core drill bit must be used with water at all times when drilling. The water serves as a coolant to prevent the diamonds from overheating. The maximum allowable temperature for a diamond Core bit is 500 degreeC. There is no pilot drill with the diamond Core bit. A low rpm rotary drill with a planetary gearbox is required to be used with a diamond Core bit. It is possible to use a cordless drill, but in the lowest gear setting. No hammer action is used.

Tightly fasten the diamond Core bit in the drill's chuck.
Keep the bIt'steady at a 45° angle  with the starting point on the edge of the assigned area to be  drilled whilst the bit is rotating  .

A notch will be made (this is normal).
Gradually move the drill from 45 degree to 90 degree and continue drilling unt finished.
Allow the diamond Core bit to cool down completely before proceeding t drill another hole.

Water can be applied by:
spraying water on the surface using a wet sponge attaching a water feed device. This is necessary when drilling into a wall tile.

Please have a look at the video in the tabs above showing how to use the diamond Core bit.
