  Jordan MackAug 10, 2025
  If your Central Machinery Drill won't start, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the power cord is properly connected to the outlet. Next, check if the outlet has power; if not, check the circuit breaker, ensuring the circuit's capacity is adequate and not overloaded. If your drill has a thermal reset breaker, turn it off, let it cool, and then press the reset button. Finally, internal damage or wear may be the issue, in which case a qualified technician should service the drill.

  Sara HendersonAug 16, 2025
  If your Central Machinery Drill is overheating, it could be due to several reasons. Avoid forcing the drill to work too fast, and allow it to operate at its own pace. Ensure cutting accessories are sharp and replace them if damaged. Clear any blockages from the motor housing vents, while wearing ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator, by using compressed air to blow out dust. Lastly, avoid using long or small diameter extension cords, and if one is needed, use the proper diameter for its length and load.

  Excessive noise or rattling in your Central Machinery Drill can stem from a couple of issues. Internal damage or wear, such as to the carbon brushes or bearings, may be the cause, in which case you should have a technician service the tool. Also, if your drill has a belt, it might be too loose or too tight, so ensure it is properly tensioned.
