FAQs
Is a battery and charger included with this 'bare tool'?
No, this product is a 'bare tool' and does not include a battery or charger. These must be purchased separately.
What type of drill bits does this SDS drill use?
This tool uses SDS drill bits and chisel attachments designed for SDS chuck systems. Ensure the bit is compatible with SDS Plus or the specific SDS type used by Mac Allister.
How do I switch between the four modes?
Locate the mode selector switch, usually positioned near the front of the tool. Ensure the tool is not running, then rotate the switch to the desired mode: Drill, Chisel, Hammer Drill, or Chisel Fixing.
Can I use this for standard drilling in wood?
Yes, the 'Drill' mode allows for standard rotation without the hammer action, making it suitable for drilling into wood and metal with appropriate bits.
What does 'refurbished' mean for this product?
Refurbished means the tool has been previously used, inspected, repaired (if necessary), and restored to full working condition. It may have minor cosmetic blemishes but is fully functional.
How do I adjust the speed?
The speed is adjusted using the variable speed trigger. Squeeze the trigger gently for slower speeds and squeeze it further for higher speeds.
What is the warranty on a refurbished tool?
Warranty information for refurbished items can vary. Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for this refurbished Mac Allister SDS drill.
Troubleshooting
Tool not powering on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check battery contacts for dirt and clean if necessary. Try a different compatible battery if available.
Reduced drilling or chiseling power
Check if the battery is low and needs recharging. Ensure the correct mode is selected for the task. Clean the SDS chuck and ensure the bit is securely seated. Check for any obstructions in the tool's vents.
Mode selector is stiff or won't switch
Ensure the tool is not under load when changing modes. Gently tap the mode selector with the palm of your hand. If the issue persists, check for debris around the selector mechanism.
Excessive vibration or noise
Ensure you are using the correct type of SDS bit for the material and task. Check that the bit is properly seated in the chuck. Excessive vibration may also indicate the need for servicing if persistent.
