Troubleshooting

Bit is not drilling effectively.

Check the bit for wear or damage. Ensure the correct speed and pressure are being applied. Make sure you are using the correct bit for the material you are drilling.

Bit gets stuck in the material.

Reduce pressure and try to reverse the drill to remove the bit. If the bit is still stuck, use pliers to remove it. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the bit or the material.
