5 Signs Your Power Tool Might Need To Be Repaired
2

• As is the case with most equipment designed for
  heavy use, power tools can become affected by
  wear and tear over time, and may even cease
  working or develop electrical problems. It can
  happen regardless of how well you maintain and
  care for your tools, too. When a problem occurs,
  the only solution for you to be able to continue
  using them effectively, is to have them assessed
  by a professional and repaired if needed.

• Look out for these 5 signs that your power tool
  might need to be repaired
• 1. Youre not able to start it up When a power
  tool wont start, it could well indicate that
  theres a bigger electrical issue at fault, and
  you should immediately begin by checking the
  power source that its plugged into, the air
  pressure if its a pneumatic tool, and whether
  the battery is the correct one for the model.
  Once youve checked those things, take a look at
  the power switch and check for visible signs of
  heat or water damage, along with the power cord
  itself. It may also be the case that dust and
  other small particles are clogging up the brushes
  and springs, so be sure to check them too.

• 2. Its not performing at its best An
  underperforming power tool is often useless, and
  if a low battery isnt the cause of it losing its
  usual power, it could be that the carbon brushes
  have become worn and need to be replaced. Often
  wearing out over time after a lot of use, these
  small blocks of carbon responsible for
  transferring electrical current from the source
  of power to the motor of the tool, may need to be
  replaced from time to time. It's worth noting
  that a lot of manufacturers of cordless power
  tools are making them without brushes, which
  could be something to think about if you need to
  buy a new cordless tool.

• 3. There is a smell of burning No matter how
  faint, the smell of burning is a clear indicator
  that something is wrong with your power tool, and
  its most likely a problem with the motor. You
  may also find that the smell is accompanied by a
  lack of power, even if the motor is still
  running, and you should firstly check that youre
  using the right tool for the job, and with the
  right accessory. Or, it may be that the capacitor
  needs to be replaced, if the burning smell is
  coming from a power saw, for example. Theres
  also the possibility that your tool has simply
  overheated, and the problem may go away when
  using the tool for less time, or for less tough
  tasks.

• 4. Its making a screeching sound While power
  tools can be noisy, they shouldnt screech or
  scream, and if yours has started to make such a
  sound, it could mean that it needs to be
  lubricated. There may also be an issue with the
  gears, and the gear switch may well have gotten
  stuck between the gears.
• 5. Sparks are flying! If sparks start to fly
  from your power tool when youre using it, or it
  begins emitting smoke, its vital that you switch
  it off right away, disconnect it from the power
  source, and allow it to cool down fully before
  handling it again. Dust clogging the parts, or
  heat damage could have caused this problem.

• Most issues with industrial power tools can be
  prevented with routine maintenance and proper
  storage etc., but there may come a time when they
  need to be professionally repaired, and if youve
  noticed any of the signs above, it could mean
  that your power tool is in need of some extra TLC.
