What to do if Hilti Drill drive spindle does not rotate?
- JJames BarkerAug 27, 2025
If the drive spindle of your Hilti Drill does not rotate, it could be due to several reasons. The permissible operating temperature of the rotary hammer’s electronics may have been exceeded, in which case you should allow the tool to cool down. Another reason could be that the battery is discharged, so you should change the battery and charge the empty battery. Finally, the function selector switch may not be correctly engaged or is set to “Chiseling”, or is set to “Chisel positioning”, so set the function selector switch to “Drilling without hammering” or “Hammer drilling”.
