- Ideal temperature: It is best to charge the battery at room temperature.

- Temperature limits: Never charge below -10°C or above 66°C. This can permanently damage the battery or prevent it from charging fully.

- In case of overheating: If the battery is hot, remove it from the charger. Let it cool down for at least 2 hours until it reaches room temperature.

- Do not completely drain the battery: Stop work immediately if the device's performance or power decreases. Complete discharge can damage the battery.

Storage: The battery should be stored in a cool, dry place. Storage temperatures above 50°C will shorten its lifespan.

 

 

Bearings (such as ball, plain, or needle bearings) ensure that the moving parts inside the tool can rotate smoothly. They connect the rotating shaft to the stationary housing.

 

You can usually notice a broken bearing by the following signs:

- The wave “wobbles” or wobbles strongly (wobble).

- Components feel loose.

- In the worst case, the tool jams completely (seizing).

 

Repair & Causes: Bearings can break due to improper handling or wear out through normal use. When a bearing fails, it often needs to be replaced along with the adjacent parts.

 

Warranty Notice: Damage caused by normal wear and tear or by improper use (overloading, incorrect environment) is not covered by the warranty.

 

 

The chuck secures the tool—usually a drill bit—and ensures that it rotates and performs the same movement as the drill bit's drive shaft. Chucks can be keyless, meaning they can be tightened and loosened by hand, or keyed, requiring the use of a separate chuck key. Chucks fitted to impact drills differ from those fitted to rotary drills. This is because they must withstand the increased stresses caused by the impact (hammer) action. Damage to the chuck can result from improper use, misuse, or lack of care.

 

- Bit slippage due to incorrect tightening of the chisel in the chuck.

- Operating the drill with the chuck against masonry or other hard surfaces, which leads to wear.

- Rust caused by improper, prolonged contact with moisture.

- Dust accumulation on the chuck.

Chucks are generally not covered by the warranty unless they were not manufactured according to the design specifications.

 

 

Here's how to protect your power tool from overheating and being destroyed!

The functional principle

Enemy No. 1: Dust Management

Protection against mechanical impact

Sensitive operation of the switch

Avoid overloading (protect from heat)

The electronics and switches in your device are sensitive to extreme heat caused by excessive use.

Give the device breaks: If you notice that the device is getting very hot or that its performance is decreasing, switch it off and let it cool down.
Don't force it: Do not force the tool if the resistance is too high. Overloading can permanently damage the circuit board.
 

Keep the device dust-free.

Dust is the biggest enemy of electronics. It insulates components (leading to overheating) or causes short circuits.

Cleaning after use: Regularly blow out ventilation slots and accessible areas (preferably with compressed air).
Storage: Store the device in a clean place to prevent gradual dust accumulation inside.
 

Take care when storing and handling

The electronic components (circuit boards) are sensitive to static electricity and moisture.

Safe place: Store the device in a dry and protected place.
Do not open: Do not unscrew the casing unnecessarily. Touching the internal electronics without static protection can destroy them instantly.

 

Please note that damage caused by overloading (heat) or dust accumulation inside the device is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Proper maintenance will therefore save you money.

 

 

Carbon brushes are the heart of the power transmission in your electric motor. Similar to brake pads in a car, they are wear parts. To ensure your tool functions flawlessly in the long term and avoid costly repairs, you should observe the following points:

 

One of the main causes of premature wear is overuse of the tool.

 

Do not press too hard: Let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure increases current flow and heat, causing the brushes to wear out faster.

To take breaks: Allow the device cooling periods during intensive work.

 

Dust and moisture are enemies of electricity.

 

Dust protection: When performing dusty tasks (e.g., sanding or sawing), take particular care to ensure that as little dust as possible enters the ventilation slots. Clean the device after use, ideally with compressed air.

Storage: Store the tool in a dry place at a moderate temperature. High humidity can cause the contact surfaces to corrode.

 

The device will eventually stop working when the brushes are worn out. This is a safety feature.

 

Don't wait until a total breakdown occurs: If you notice a decrease in performance or the motor stuttering, check the brushes.

Caution regarding rapid wear: If you have to replace the brushes unusually often, the problem is often more complex (e.g., a defect in the armature or a short circuit). In this case, simply replacing the brushes won't help – the device needs to be professionally inspected.

 

Please note that carbon brushes are wear parts. Damage or failures caused by normal wear and tear, overloading, or dust ingress are generally not covered by the warranty. Proper maintenance will therefore save you money.
