Troubleshooting

Tool stops abruptly during heavy drilling

The electronic overload protection has likely triggered. Reduce the applied pressure and allow the tool to cool down before resuming.

Battery fails to charge

Ensure the battery is fully seated in the charger and the charger is connected to a live power source. Check for debris on the charging contacts.

Chuck is difficult to tighten or loosen

Clean any dust or grit from the chuck jaws using compressed air and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.
