First you drill a hole one to two sizes smaller than the drilled hole at about 1/4 deep. Once that is done you place the bit with an extension (preferably 1/4" socket type) and place it on the drilled hole. With a ballpeen hammer burry the bit as vertical as you can in the drilled hole, avoiding any side to side movement so it will be forced in place. I've never tried it with a cordless drill but try it, use a 3/8" impact gun with a 1/4 adaptor and spin the buried bit on reverse as powerful as you can. Trick it has to be buried in place and the impact will jar it loose from the threads, so keep in mind not to loose grip with the drilled hole or it will spin in the hole and putting you back to step one.
