Practical help
Common problems
Tool stops rotating during use
The battery is empty. The Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) system has shut down the tool to prevent deep discharge.
Sparks visible through motor housing
This is a normal reaction of the motor components rubbing against each other and does not affect tool performance.
Chuck will not open or close
Ensure the motor is not running while you are holding the front sleeve to adjust the chuck.
Before use
- Charge the battery fully before first use.
- Set the rotational direction switch to the center position for storage or transport.
- Check for hidden utility lines (electric, gas, water) in the work area.
- Ensure the battery pack is a TRIXIG model.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, dust mask).
