  If your Hercules Power Hammer isn't starting, first ensure the cord is properly plugged into the outlet. Then, check if the outlet has power. If not, check the circuit breaker, ensuring it's the correct capacity and not overloaded. If the tool has a thermal reset breaker, turn it off, let it cool, and press the reset button. If none of these steps work, internal damage or wear may be the cause, and you should have a technician service the tool.

Why is my Hercules HE36 Power Hammer overheating?
- M
  Madison Hammond DDSAug 15, 2025
  Your Hercules Power Hammer might be overheating because you are forcing the tool to work too fast, so allow the tool to work at its own rate. Also, overheating can be caused by a dull or damaged bit, so keep cutting bits sharp and replace them when needed. Check for blocked motor housing vents and clear them by blowing out dust with compressed air while wearing ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator. Finally, a long or small diameter extension cord can strain the motor; eliminate the extension cord or use one with the proper diameter for its length and load.

Why does my Hercules HE36 performance decrease over time?

  If your Hercules Power Hammer's performance decreases over time, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that cutting bits are sharp and replace them as needed. If the internal lubrication is cold, allow the tool to operate with no load for 5 minutes before use. Lastly, worn or damaged carbon brushes can cause this issue, in which case you should have a qualified technician replace them.

  If your Hercules Power Hammer is operating slowly, the issue might be related to the extension cord. Try eliminating the extension cord altogether. If you need to use one, make sure it is a shorter and heavier gauge cord.
