Troubleshooting
Drill bit slips in the chuck.
Ensure the bit is properly inserted and the chuck is tightened securely. Check for any debris in the chuck or on the bit shank. Consider using a drill with a more powerful chuck.
Drill bit is not drilling through the material.
Check the drill speed and adjust as necessary for the material. Ensure you are applying sufficient pressure without forcing the bit. Check the bit for damage or wear and replace if needed. Make sure you are using the appropriate drilling mode (rotary or percussion).
