Troubleshooting
Drill bit not engaging or spinning correctly
Ensure your drill is SDS-compatible and that the bit is fully and securely inserted into the SDS chuck. Check that the drill is set to the correct mode (hammer drill function).
Slow drilling progress or bit overheating
Verify you are using the correct drill speed and hammer function. Ensure there are no blockages in the material being drilled. Periodically withdraw the bit during drilling to clear dust and allow the bit to cool.
Bit appears dull or ineffective
Masonry bits wear over time. If performance degrades significantly, it may be time to replace the bit. Ensure you are not exceeding the bit's intended use by drilling into overly hard or abrasive materials not specified for masonry bits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the DEKTON SDS Masonry Drill Bit, ensure you are using an SDS-compatible hammer drill. Insert the bit shank into the SDS chuck of your drill until it clicks securely into place.
