Leave bit in Chuck after
sharpening
Always align and sharpen a
bit before splitting it. To split
the point, do not remove the
bit from the Chuck after
sharpening.
When splitting a 135° drill
bit, align in the 118° position,
and then sharpen in the 135°
point angle position.
Align Guides
Align one of the Sharpening
Guide
Guides on the Chuck (short
white marks) with the Split-
ting Guide on the Splitting
Port. Make sure the Align-
ment Guides insert into the
Split Point Guide Rails in the
Splitting Port.
Split the point
Press Chuck slowly and firm-
ly into the Splitting Port until
it stops. Remove the chuck,
rotate one-half turn, and
repeat.
Check the tip of the bit care-
fully to determine that both
sides of the bit are split
equally. Compare it to the
illustrations. If it does not
match, study the information
following.
