Troubleshooting
Bit is not cutting cleanly.
Ensure the bit is securely installed and spinning at the correct speed for drywall. Check if the bit is dull or damaged; replace if necessary. Verify you are cutting drywall only.
Spiral saw is vibrating excessively.
Confirm the bit is correctly seated and balanced. Reduce cutting speed slightly. Ensure you are not forcing the saw; let the bit do the work.
Bit is not compatible with my tool.
