  There are several potential causes if your Hercules Power Tool won't start: * The power cord might not be properly connected; ensure it's plugged in. * The outlet may not be receiving power; test the outlet and check the circuit breaker, ensuring it's the correct capacity for the tool and isn't overloaded. * The tool's thermal reset breaker might have tripped; turn off the tool, let it cool, and then press the reset button. * There may be internal damage or wear, such as to the carbon brushes or switch; in this case, have a technician service the tool.

Why is my Hercules Power Tool overheating?

  Jennifer ShawAug 8, 2025
  Your Hercules Power Tool could be overheating due to several reasons: 1. You might be forcing the tool to work too fast; allow it to work at its own pace. 2. The motor housing vents could be blocked; use compressed air to blow dust out of the motor while wearing ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator. 3. A long or small diameter extension cord may be straining the motor; try eliminating the extension cord or using one with the proper diameter for its length and load.

  If your Hercules Power Tool operates slowly, it could be due to: 1. Applying excessive pressure to the workpiece; decrease the pressure and allow the tool to do the work. 2. Using a long or small diameter extension cord, which reduces power; eliminate the extension cord or use one with the proper diameter for its length and load.
