   Have you tried moving the drill bit up or down inside the chisel?  You should be getting sawdust not chips coming between the bit and chisel.

   You may be getting feed and speed mixed up.  Try slowing the rate at which you

   lower the chisel.  Also, make sure the drill bit is centered in the chisel and both are

   sharp.

   That is because you have the drill projecting too far out from the chisel. There should be instructions on how to get the correct clearance accompanying the chisel set.The shoulders of the augur should just clear the edges of the chisel-but shouldn't be rubbing at any time.Feed pressure should be firm but neither excessive or too light, assuming correct set up and sharpness.
