Chuck Slipping

A slipping chuck can make accurate drilling difficult and prevent accessories from staying secure.

Possible Causes

• Worn chuck jaws
• Dirt or debris inside the chuck
• Incorrectly fitted drill bit
• General wear through prolonged use

Resolution

• Remove the drill bit and inspect the chuck.
• Clean away dust and debris.
• Refit the accessory and tighten securely.
• Replace the chuck if it no longer grips effectively.

Hammer Function Not Working

The drill rotates but produces little or no hammer action.

Possible Causes

• Hammer mode not fully engaged
• Worn hammer mechanism
• Selector switch fault
• Internal contamination

Resolution

• Ensure the selector is fully engaged in hammer mode.
• Cycle through all drill modes several times.
• Check for visible damage to the selector mechanism.
• Arrange servicing if the hammer function remains inoperative.

Reduced Drilling Performance

The drill struggles to drill materials it would normally handle comfortably.

Possible Causes

• Motor wear
• Gearbox wear
• Incorrect drill bit selection
• Excessive pressure during use

Resolution

• Use a suitable, sharp drill bit.
• Allow the drill to operate at its intended speed.
• Avoid forcing the tool through the material.
• Seek servicing if performance continues to decline.
