Hi all,
My relatively new (10 months old) corded hammer drill has started to what can only be described as "jump" out of gear.
I was drilling a particulary tough wall and the drill stopped rotating as if I'd let go of the trigger (i.e. it didn't jam), which I hadn't.
It now works in reverse fine, but the only way I can get it go forwards is to press the direction switch as far in a possible and hold it, then pull the trigger. If the direction switch isn't pressed, it starts to rotate but then stops almost immediately as if the direction switch is slipping to the mis-position. It's not as if the gears are broken, because even the motor doesn't turn.
Just wondering if anyone could offer any pearls of wisdom!
