What to do if my Central Machinery Drill will not start?
- A
  Alex JonesAug 13, 2025
  If your Central Machinery Drill won't start, first ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a working outlet. Check the outlet's power supply. If it's unpowered, turn off the drill and inspect the circuit breaker. If the breaker is tripped, verify that the circuit has the correct capacity for the drill and isn't overloaded with other devices. If these steps don't resolve the issue, have a qualified technician service the tool.

Why is my Central Machinery 44505 Drill overheating?
- S
  Steven CollinsAug 17, 2025
  Your Central Machinery Drill may be overheating because it's being forced to work too fast. Allow the machine to work at its own pace. Also, check and correct the alignment of the accessory to the table. Ensure cutting accessories are sharp and replace them if needed. Remove dust from the motor using compressed air while wearing ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator. If you are using an extension cord, eliminate it or use one with the proper diameter for its length and load.
