FAQs
What is the maximum drilling capacity for this combi drill?
The drill has a maximum capacity of 13mm in masonry, 38mm in wood, and 13mm in steel.
How long is the warranty period?
Kielder offers a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, provided the product is registered with Kielder within the specified timeframe. Terms and conditions apply.
Does this drill come with a battery and charger?
Typically, Kielder combi drills are sold as body-only tools. A compatible Kielder TYPE18 18v Li-ion battery and charger are usually required and sold separately.
What is the benefit of a brushless motor?
A brushless motor is more efficient, leading to longer battery life and runtime. It also provides smoother, more consistent power delivery and requires less maintenance due to fewer wearing parts.
How do I switch between drill, hammer, and screwdriving modes?
There is a selector ring or switch, usually located near the front of the gearbox housing, that allows you to choose between drill, hammer drill, and screwdriving (with torque settings) modes.
What does 'ultra compact' mean in terms of dimensions?
The drill has an overall length of just 166mm, making it significantly shorter than many standard combi drills, which is ideal for working in confined spaces.
Can I use other brands' batteries with this drill?
This drill is designed to work exclusively with Kielder's TYPE18 18v Li-ion battery system for optimal performance and safety.
Troubleshooting
Drill will not power on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the tool. Check if the battery contacts are clean. If the issue persists, try a different compatible battery.
Reduced power or performance
Check battery charge level. Ensure there are no blockages in the ventilation slots. Clean the chuck and bit holder. For hammer function issues, ensure the mode is correctly set and check for debris in the hammer mechanism housing.
Chuck is difficult to open or close
Clean any debris from the chuck jaws and mechanism. Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant if necessary. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged before attempting to open.
Motor stops during use
The tool may have overheated or overloaded. Release the trigger and allow the tool to cool down. Reduce the load or switch to a lower speed/torque setting. Ensure the battery is not depleted.
