  Brent RodriguezJul 31, 2025
  There are several possible reasons why your Chicago Electric Rotary Hammer might not start: 1. The power cord may not be properly connected. Ensure the cord is securely plugged in. 2. There may be no power at the outlet. Check the outlet for power. If it's unpowered, turn off the tool and check the circuit breaker. If the breaker is tripped, ensure the circuit has the correct capacity for the tool and isn't overloaded. 3. The tool's thermal reset breaker might have tripped (if equipped). Turn off the tool, let it cool down, and then press the reset button on the tool. 4. There could be internal damage or wear, such as to the carbon brushes or switch. In this case, have a qualified technician service the tool.

  If your Chicago Electric Rotary Hammer is overheating, consider the following: 1. You might be forcing the tool to work too fast. Allow the tool to work at its own pace. 2. The accessory may be misaligned. Check and correct the alignment of the accessory. 3. The accessory might be dull or damaged. Keep cutting accessories sharp and replace them as needed. 4. The motor housing vents could be blocked. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator while using compressed air to blow dust out of the motor. 5. The motor could be strained by a long or small diameter extension cord. Try eliminating the extension cord. If you must use one, ensure it has the correct diameter for its length and the load it's carrying.

  If your Chicago Electric Rotary Hammer is operating slower than usual, it might be due to an extension cord that is either too long or has too small of a diameter. Try using the tool without an extension cord. If an extension cord is necessary, make sure it has the correct diameter for its length and the load it's supporting.
