NOTE: To make deeper holes, remove the core bit, break and re-
move the core. Resume drilling.

Using LHS Rotary Percussion Core Bits (Fig. 9-12)

LHS Core Bits are useful for drilling large or long holes in concrete.
MILWAUKEE Heavy-Duty Core Bits have heat-treated steel bodies with
durable carbide tips. These core bits are specially designed for fast,
accurate drilling with combined hammering and rotary action.

1.

Clean and lubricate the threads on the adapter and core bit to make
later removal easier. Screw the threaded end of the centering bit into
the core bit (Fig. 9). Thread the adapter shank to the rear of the core
bit.

NOTE: If using an extension, first thread the adapter shank to the
extension. Then thread the core bit to the extension.

5.

After drilling to about the depth of the core bit teeth, remove the
center pin and guide plate from the core bit. Resume drilling.

6.

To change the core bit, hold the tool upwards, pointing it away from
your body as shown, and run it briefly in forward to loosen the core
bit from the adapter (Fig. 8).

NOTE: To make deeper holes, remove the core bit, break and remove
the core. Resume drilling. When drilling long or deep holes, after each
inch of penetration pull the bit partially out of the hole while the tool is
running, to help clear dust from the bit flutes. Dust can clog the bit flutes
and can make the bit bind in the hole. If this occurs, stop the tool, free the
bit and begin again.
