How to improve the drilling rate of my Hilti DD 150-U Drill?

A decreasing drilling rate with your Hilti Drill can stem from multiple factors. Here are some things to check: 1. If the maximum drilling depth has been reached, remove the core and use a core bit extension. 2. If the core is stuck in the core bit, remove it. 3. Ensure you're using the correct core bit specification for the base material and that the diamond core bit is not defective (check for damage and replace if necessary). 4. Also, verify that you've selected the right gear and are applying sufficient contact pressure. If the machine has too little power, select the next lower gear. If the diamond core bit is polished, sharpen it by drilling into a sharpening plate.
