6. Question:
Why is the Chisel Edge on my drill bit flat?
Answer:
During the alignment process the Alignment Fingers may
have been gripping the high points of the drill bit. Reinsert
the drill bit in the Chuck making sure that the Alignment
Fingers grip the narrowest section of the bit (the flutes)
and the Leading Edge of the Flute is against the Align-
ment Finger. (See page 7-8.)
7. Question:
Why does the drill bit back up into the Chuck during
the sharpening procedure?
Answer:
Make sure the bit is tight in the Chuck before sharpening.
Your Chuck may be dirty. Clean the Chuck as described on
page 17.
8. Question:
Can I change a 135° drill bit into a 118° drill bit?
Answer:
You can change the point angle of any drill bit from 135°
to 118° by using normal sharpening procedures.

Maintenance
After sharpening 20 to 25 drill bits, the drill bit grinding
dust will accumulate in the grinding compartment. Grind-
ing particles will promote wear in the Sharpening Port
and Chuck, so cleaning on a consistent basis can add life
to your machine. Before any maintenance or cleaning is
performed, be sure to disconnect your Drill Doctor.
Removing the Wheel Access Cover
With the Drill Doctor unplugged, use your nail or the tip
of your finger to pull the Wheel Access Cover forward. It
will come completely off for easy access. To close, insert
the Cover in the slots and snap it back into place.
