Troubleshooting
Centring pin not holding securely in drill chuck.
Ensure the drill chuck is clean and free of debris. Tighten the chuck firmly around the pin. Verify that the pin's shank diameter is appropriate for the chuck.
Inaccurate marking on material surface.
Ensure the material surface is clean and flat. Apply steady, perpendicular pressure when marking. Check if the centring pin tip is worn or damaged; replace if necessary.
Pin seems too loose in the drill chuck.
Confirm you are using a Bosch Professional drill for guaranteed fit. Check the drill chuck for wear; older chucks may have reduced grip. Ensure the correct pin size is selected.
