• General Maintenance: Quick repairs and routine maintenance tasks across various settings.

Compatibility Overview

The bits are specifically designed for the Festool AF 55-DWP/DWC cordless drill systems, which feature a 1/4” (6.35 mm) chuck size. They are also fully compatible with any other Festool cordless drills that accept the same chuck dimension and provide a matching torque profile.

Installation Instructions

1. Remove the existing bit: Use a suitable bit holder or the drill’s built‑in chuck key to release the current bit.
2. Insert the PH2-AF-55: Align the tip with the chuck and gently tap until it seats securely.
3. Check for proper fit: Ensure the bit is fully seated and does not wobble.
4. Proceed with drilling: Set the desired speed and torque settings on your AF 55 system before beginning work.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean after use: Remove debris from the tip and shaft with a brush or compressed air to prevent clogging.
• Inspect for damage: Regularly check the tip for wear or chipping; replace if necessary to maintain performance.
• Store properly: Keep the bits in a dry environment to avoid rust and prolong their lifespan.
