Troubleshooting

Auger rod is not feeding into the drain.

Ensure the auger head is not obstructed. Try rotating the rod manually to help it feed. Check for any kinks or bends in the rod.

Drill stops or struggles when using the auger.

Reduce the drill speed and the pressure on the rod. The blockage may be too severe; consider using a different method or a more powerful drill.
