How can we help?

Check the speed setting

• Make sure you’ve adjusted the speed settings and have set the clutch properly.

Check the Drill Bit

• Make sure the correct Drill Bit is being used for the application, which can be determined by checking the packaging of the Drill Bit – even high-quality ones can be purchased for relatively low cost and should clearly indicate intended use on the packaging. High quality accessories can greatly improve the performance of a tool and are always a strong recommendation
• Make sure you’ve selected the correct Drill for the task
• For example, some Drills are designed to use with concrete – for concrete and masonry, use a RYOBI Hammer Drill or SDS Hammer Drill.

Overuse and Overheating

• Your Drill may be overheating or requiring too much power for the Drill or driver to complete the task – this occurs when you push the Drill or driver beyond its working capacity.
• If the tool stops because of this reason the tool LED may flash (on Brushless models) and the trigger will not engage the tool.
• Remove the battery from the tool and check the battery indicator lights for charge level. If low, it may need to be recharged before continuing. If warm or hot to touch, the battery may need to cool down before continuing. Otherwise re-engage the battery into the tool. Engage the trigger under no load to check if the tool functions correctly, then continue work making sure to back off the speed or load on the tool.
