Why my Chicago Electric Power Tool will not start?
- EEmily VelezJul 31, 2025
If your Chicago Electric Power Tool won't start, there are several potential causes: * **Cord not connected:** Ensure the cord is properly plugged in. * **No power at outlet:** Verify that the outlet has power. If it doesn't, turn off the tool and check the circuit breaker. If the breaker is tripped, confirm the circuit's capacity is adequate for the tool and that no other loads are on the same circuit. * **Tool’s thermal reset breaker tripped (if equipped):** Turn off the tool, let it cool down, and then press the reset button on the tool. * **Internal damage or wear:** Have a qualified technician service the tool to address potential issues like worn carbon brushes or a faulty trigger.
