Tools

-
first of all we will check the power.
-
plug your drill into a power outlet and try it.
-
If the machine wants to start but immediately shuts down , there is a chance the brushes needs to be replaced.
-
If no power comes up ( like mine) you have to check the power cord first

-
remove the 2 flathead/ torx screws holding the plastic frame at the bottom.
-
remove the flathead/torx screw at the upper side of the frame.
-
slide the frame to the right.

-
check the brown and blue wire with a multimeter.
-
put the red probe from the multimeter on the brown cable and ( copper head)and the black probe of the multimeter on the blue wire ( copper head)
-
if you measure 230 V it should be ok ( in Europe it is 230 V.. i think in the US it would be 110V ...)

Remove power cable by removing the 2 flathead/torx screws.

be gently and careful with the condensator. ( yellow "briwk" with the 2 black small wires.

check fot bad connections. ( in this case you will see one bad connection from the condensator )

pull out the switch to check the connections and measure out the switch.

how more powerfull the motor , the more likely a bad switch is.
