  If your Chicago Electric Impact Driver won't start, there are several potential causes: * The cord may not be connected. Ensure the cord is properly plugged in. * There may be no power at the outlet. Check the power at the outlet. If the outlet is unpowered, turn off the tool and check the circuit breaker. If the breaker is tripped, ensure the circuit is the correct capacity for the tool and has no other loads. * The tool’s thermal reset breaker may have tripped (if equipped). Turn off the tool, allow it to cool, and then press the reset button on the tool. * There may be internal damage or wear, such as to the carbon brushes or switch. In this case, have a technician service the tool and/or replace the carbon brushes.

  Your Chicago Electric Impact Driver might be overheating due to several reasons: * You may be forcing the tool to work too fast. Allow the tool to work at its own pace. * The motor housing vents could be blocked. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator while blowing dust out of the motor using compressed air. * The motor may be strained by a long or small diameter extension cord. Eliminate the use of an extension cord. If an extension cord is necessary, use one with the proper diameter for its length and load.
