Troubleshooting
Drill bit is not cutting cleanly.
Check the drill speed; reduce the speed if the material is burning or splintering. Ensure the bit is sharp. If using on hard materials, consider using a pilot hole.
Drill bit is getting stuck.
Reduce pressure and clear the hole of wood chips by retracting the bit periodically. Ensure the bit is aligned correctly and not tilting.
