Troubleshooting
Hole cutter not cutting cleanly
Ensure the plastic is not too thick (over 5mm). Check if the cutting edge is dull or damaged. Use a slower drill speed with steady pressure.
Drill bit is not centered
Ensure a pilot hole is drilled first. The pilot hole provides a starting guide for the main hole cutter.
Tool is not cutting at all
Verify you are using a standard electric drill and not an air tool. Ensure the drill is set to the correct rotation direction (clockwise for cutting).
Case or foam tray is damaged
Contact the retailer for replacement parts or inquire about manufacturer support for damaged cases.
