Batteries all powered up, pull the trigger and ...nothing. Trigger was hard to pull, when unstuck, drill wouldn't operate from that point forward. Any quick fix??

-   I have the same problem and I think it is the switch - after taking it apart, smelled the switch and it smells like it burnt. Great drill for small tasks. would like to replace the switch - anyone know where one can purchase a replacement switch? -   Guest

-   Warning, take the battery out of these units. I had the same problems listed above, with the switch working inconsistently. Then, the other day, my wife heard the drill operating by itself in the other room. By the time she checked on it it was smoking profusely. The handle had melted. I am convinced that if no one was at home at the time, it would have caught on fire. Scary!!! -   Mcorn

-   I have a similar problem.I was in the middle of hanging a shelf. I swapped oiut the drill bit fro a philips head bit and my drill just stopped working. I didn't think that it was the battery because I had just drillled the pilot holes with no problem. I swapped out the battery just to try it anf NOTHING happens when I pull the trigger. I get an indicator light with both batteries so I really don't think that it is the batteries. I think that it is the switch. I have no idea of how I can fix this and if I can't find a way to fix it soon, this was the LAST Kawasaki product I am ever going to buy.-   reidy2

-   My Kawasaki 19.2 cordless when batteries are placed in charger there are no longer indicator lights and both batteries will not charge at all.

-   Same problem here, it started out by not always working when you pull the trigger and even then would change speeds while drilling. However it served it's purpose for small tasks. Now nothing - tried both batteries and nothing at all. I do not recommend this drill to anyone looking for one. I really haven't used it all that much either, just misc. household tasks. I have a Portercable drill for my heavy duty tasks. If anyone has any fixes, I'm listening - can't hurt to have a cheap drill laying around for easy stuff. -   dalebondz

Re: Burned trigger switch: call the number on the drill (800.590.3723) and tell them what happened. They will offer to send you a new switch or have you send the drill in for replacement of the switch--although the person I talked with said they would probably just replace the whole drill.

I have the same problem with my kawasaki drill. It has been always a great tool until one day the trigger was "stuck" and not matter how much force I used, it would not work. The strange thing was, I was using it earlier that day, no problem. When I came back a few hours latter, it refused to work at all and the trigger is jammed. Then I noticed a burned plastic smell coming from the drill. So from there I proceeded to take the battery out and open the drill. When I was finally able to take the drill apart, I saw that it has shorted out somewhere and the black wire to the trigger was completely burned up and all that plastic has melted all over the trigger causing it to glue together. Kawasaki needs to recall all drills they sold because of this potential problem that others may of experenced.
