Troubleshooting
Drill does not start.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check the battery contacts and ensure the tool's switch is engaged.
Drill loses power during use.
Recharge the battery. Avoid excessive drilling that could overheat the motor. Allow the tool to cool down if necessary.
Drilling is slow or inefficient.
Check the bit for wear or damage and replace it if necessary. Apply appropriate pressure while drilling and ensure the correct mode is selected (rotary hammer for concrete).
Vibration is excessive.
Ensure the side handle is securely attached. Check the bit and make sure it is suitable for the material. If vibration persists, take breaks to minimize fatigue.
