Troubleshooting
Drill bit is wandering or not starting accurately.
Ensure the brad point is centered on the drilling location and apply gentle pressure to allow it to self-center. Check that the drill is perpendicular to the wood surface.
Holes are tearing out or splintering.
Reduce the drill speed and ensure the bit is sharp. Support the wood from the back to minimize tear-out, especially when drilling through-holes.
Drill bit is getting stuck.
Back the drill bit out periodically to clear wood shavings. Ensure you are not forcing the drill bit, and adjust the drill speed as needed. Using a wax stick can help with lubrication.
