Use a suitable tap wrench or tap holder to keep the tap straight and controlled.
Apply appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when tapping metal to improve finish and extend tool life.
Back the tap off regularly during cutting to break chips and reduce the risk of binding.

Drill the hole to 2.5mm before tapping to help achieve the correct thread form.
Keep the tap square to the workpiece when starting the thread. A crooked start usually becomes a crooked problem very quickly.
Turn the tap forward a little, then reverse slightly to break the chip and keep the cut clean.
Use cutting fluid on metal and clear chips regularly to reduce friction and help prevent tap breakage.

Mark the position where the threaded hole is required.
Drill the pilot hole using the recommended 2.5mm drill bit.
Secure the workpiece firmly before tapping.
Fit the tap into a suitable tap wrench using the 2mm square drive.
Apply suitable cutting fluid or lubricant if tapping metal.
Start the tap square to the hole and turn slowly with even pressure.
Turn forward gradually, then reverse slightly to break chips while cutting.
Continue until the required thread depth is reached, then carefully reverse the tap out of the hole.
