How do I maintain the router bit?

What safety precautions should I take?

What should I do if the bit gets dull?

Troubleshooting
Bit is not cutting effectively.
Check the bit for wear and tear. Ensure the drill speed is appropriate for the material being cut. Increase the drill speed or replace the bit.
Bit gets stuck in the material.
Reduce the pressure and try to remove the bit. If it's still stuck, try to carefully rotate the bit to loosen it. If that does not work, carefully use a pry tool and a hammer to gently dislodge the bit.
Drill vibrates excessively.
Make sure the bit is securely tightened in the chuck. Check the drill for any issues.
