Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

Check if the battery is properly inserted and charged. If the battery is installed correctly and charged, examine the battery terminals and clean them if necessary. Try using another battery to rule out a battery problem.

Poor drilling performance

Check the drill bit for wear and tear. Replace with a new bit if necessary. Adjust the speed and mode settings according to the material being drilled. Ensure you are applying adequate pressure without forcing the drill.

Drill bit gets stuck

Use the reverse function to remove the bit. If it's still stuck, try applying some penetrating oil to the bit and let it sit for a while before trying again. Make sure the chuck is clean and free of debris.

Overheating

Allow the drill to cool down. Reduce the workload and do not continuously operate the tool for extended periods. Ensure the ventilation slots are clean and unobstructed.
