Hi My dewalt sds hammer drill won't work in hammer mode, but works on the other. I've had it a couple of years. I was wondering if anyone could give me some help as I'd like to fix it myself? But I'm not to sure where to start?

Disassemble sds drill, access gear casing, remove cog set closest to trigger along with drill/anvil shaft. Separate cog shaft and rotary shaft. Check aluminum cam for stiffness or seizing. If damage is seen on aluminum cam, use fine grit sandpaper on ALUMINUM PART ONLY, to remove major scores and scarring. Apply gracious amounts of provided lubricant with tool or higher rated gear oil. Reassemble gear casing using only a few screws at first, test actuation, fully assemble entire drill. Test actuation at full speed under no load. Insert bit and test on hardened material (aka cured concrete). Life expectancy degrades rapidly with dry cams and extremely high use in short amounts of time.

A small part that helps the switching is probably broken.
Go to the dewalt site and the service online in order to find the faulty part. It would be cheap if you want to buy it. Your can repair it by yourself.

SOURCE: strange wurring sound and slight vibration at full

On most sds drills the movement of the beat piece inside the piston cause then to vibrate, even at slow speed, this is normal, the most speed the louder the noise and vibration., note: is not a grinding noise, it should be a smooth nocking constant sound, as so the vibration.

SOURCE: Dewalt dw511 hammer drill won't hammer, only

The hammer inside the drill head are most likely damaged ans/or broken, it is likely the best thing to do is just replace the tool.

My dewalt drill won't switch to hammer

I had the same problem. You need to manipulate either the speed or the torgue. In some cases both. Sometimes the drill/hammer feature gets stuck in between the two an this is the only way to fix it unless taking it apart but I wouldn't do that yourself. Best to take it back to the dealer or service shop

Cordless sds leaving grease on sds bits

There is supposed to be grease on the chuck end of SDS+ and SDS Max bits. Actually, you should put a little lightweight grease on the end of the bit every time you put one in your drill. If you, or noone who has ever used the drill, have ever done this, it is possible internal grease is leaking out of the drill and it should not. There are seals to prevent internal grease from getting out of the transmission and striker mechanisms. If you are loosing internal grease, these seals should be checked.

Dewalt 36v SDS 234 drill issue! Could someone please help? When I pull the trigger on the drill the motor runs but the drive only turns for about 1 second and stops even though the motor is still running....

DeWalt says:
Number of drilling modes
3 modes. Rotation only, hammering with rotation, or hammering only with rotation stop for light chiselling applications in tiles and plaster and impact stop mode for rotary drilling only in wood and steel.
Maybe yours is doing the second one?

How do I fit drill in this machine please? DEWALT D25113K D25113 3 MODE SDS

Youcan only use standard drill bits with the use of a chuck attachment with the SDS type bayonet. These hammer drills use an SDS type drill bit which just pushes into the fitted chuck and are released by pulling back on the lock mechanism on the chuck.

The hammer action on my 24 v sds cordless drill only seems to work at times and is overly noisey,any ideas what the problem is

Motor windings may be bad. All Dewalt tools can normally be rebuilt @ Dewalt store for $99.00. I have had 6 tools rebuilt @ that standard price. Dewalt site can give you nearest store. Batteries worn out?
