What to do if my Silverline SDS Plus Drill will not start?

  Lindsay WarnerJul 29, 2025
  If your Silverline Drill won't start, there are several potential causes. It could be due to no power, a blown fuse, or a tripped circuit breaker. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary, or reset the circuit breaker. If the fuse blows again or the circuit breaker trips repeatedly, it indicates a more serious issue. Other possible causes include a damaged power cable, a faulty ON/OFF trigger switch, or a faulty motor. In these cases, it is recommended to contact an authorised service centre.

Why is the drilling performance poor with masonry on my Silverline SDS Plus Drill?
- C
  Christine ScottAug 3, 2025
  Poor drilling performance with masonry when using the Silverline Drill can occur if hammer mode is not selected; make sure to enable it. Also, check the drill bit tip for wear or damage and replace the SDS Plus drill bit if needed. If you're working with very dense material, drilling speed will naturally be slow; consider using a smaller pilot drill first to speed up the process.

What to do if the chisel mode is not breaking material on my Silverline SDS Plus?

  If the chisel mode on your Silverline Drill isn't breaking material, it could be due to the material being too dense or thick, indicating the drill isn't suitable for that specific material or thickness. Alternatively, the chisel tip might be worn and need replacement.

  If bits don't fit easily into the SDS Plus Chuck of your Silverline Drill, it's likely due to debris and dirt inside the chuck. To clean it, position the chuck downwards and vacuum while operating the chuck as if you were inserting bits. Also, ensure the dust guard is used to prevent debris from entering the chuck in the future.

  If the chisel tip on your Silverline Drill is rotating when it shouldn't be, it means the tool is incorrectly set. To fix this, select roto-stop mode.

Why is my Silverline SDS Plus Drill showing slow rotation speed and sparking?

  Slow rotation speed or no rotation accompanied by visible sparking from the motor vents of your Silverline Drill indicates that the carbon brushes are worn. Contact an authorised service centre to have the carbon brushes replaced.
