Why won't my Hilti Impact Driver start?
- SShirley MorrowJul 27, 2025
If your Hilti Impact Driver doesn't start, it could be due to several reasons. It might be undergoing electronics initialization or the electronic restart safety interlock has been activated, so try switching the power tool off and then on again. Check for an interruption in the electric supply by plugging in another appliance to see if it works. The supply cord or plug could be defective, in which case you should have it checked and replaced by a trained electrical specialist. Alternatively, the control switch might be defective, requiring a check by a specialist and possible carbon brush replacement. If you're using a generator, it may be in sleep mode; apply a load by connecting another power consumer.
