Chisel Point
Cause
The bit isn't completely ground yet.
Solution
Continue sharpening the bit until
the chisel is clean and straight. If
the machine quits removing mate-
rial before the chisel is clean, re-
align and sharpen again. (Model
750X users can increase or
decrease MTO (material take-off)
to speed up this process.
The entire surface from the
Cutting Edge to the Heel will
have a finely ground surface
without ridges or indenta-
tions. The Heel will always
be lower than the Cutting
Edge. The Chisel Edge will be
clean and straight.

Chuck Jaws did not grip drill
bit properly in the aligning
process (Page 8).
Solution
Realign the bit by carefully
following steps 1 through 5
