Why does the drive spindle not rotate on my Hilti Drill?
- CCynthia GreenSep 9, 2025
If the drive spindle of your Hilti Drill isn't rotating, it could be due to several reasons. First, the tool's electronics may have exceeded their permissible operating temperature, so allow the tool to cool down. Second, the battery might be discharged, so change the battery and charge the empty one. Finally, the function selector switch may not be correctly engaged or is set to “Chiseling” or “Chisel positioning”, so set the function selector switch to “Drilling without hammering” or “Hammer drilling”.
