You most likely have a loose connection inside somewhere, when you turn the drill to another position it creates a gap in the connection, therefore breaking the circuit.

If you look at the switch you will see a hole with a brass coloured contact inside. These are grip type connector where you push the wire in and it grips it. Try pushing the wire into the hole and see if you can pull it out again gently. If it holds you have fixed it.

Ok, first check to see if the trigger lockout has been engaged, it's a small level at the top of the trigger ( I know this sounds silly, but it happens sometimes). Flip it side to side to see if you can hear the selector moving the switch inside the drill. If the selector moves freely without engaging the switch, you'll have to disassembly the drill housing to put the selector back into the lever so it will work.

Just take out all the screws in the housing and carefully remove the one side and look at the switch lever and make sure it is inside the slide selector lever.

If that isn't the issue, I'm afraid that the electric trigger/switch has failed and this isn't a part that can be disassembled and repaired by a DIY'er. I've attempted it when mine failed and found out it's a sealed unit and wrapped in a copper heat shield that dissapates heat when the variable speed is utilized and you end up destroying the switch housing in the process.

However, any DeWalt authorized repair center can do the repair for around $20 +/-, and if your drill is under the 3 year warranty period, it should be a free, warranty repair. Just contact DeWalt's customer service or your local Authorized Service Center (listed in phone book usually), or check the link for finding one near you.

Click on the "Services/Support" tab to get info. You can also buy the replacement parts if your drill is out of warranty (call them to verify before takin it apart!) and do the repair yourself.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

actually you can find any almost-similar carbon brush and reshape them with sand paper..couple things to consider is the spring structure and the way copper wire connected to the carbon..some connected at the **** and some at the side...

trust me,find bigger carbon and reshape with sand paper..it work!!good luck

The motor does not go in reverse.

This will be a suggestion...but for mine I bought two 18650 LiFePo4 cells (3.7V each) and replaced the original NiCd Batteries. It has been working for many years now, since the original batteries expired and stop working in 2002 (I bought the CD 1000 back in 1994!!!!!). You have to use a special charger for the new ones but they stay charged a lot more and the drill has more torque.

hi, have you seen this ? https://support.blackanddecker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012702998-If-my-battery-is-not-charging-what-can-I-try-#:~:text=If%20your%20battery%20is%20not,charger%20to%20try%20charging%20again. Now i don't think that's the issue , it more likely the cells won't take a charger or the bms electronic board has failed , with those battery packs it can be a electronics problem or a failed cell , One thing you might want to check is the actual connection to the battery pack..i seen a issue here where there is a bad connection , the charger won't charge regards Rob

With that being said, be advised that leaving the screwdriver on the charger after fully charged may overcharge it and also shorten its battery life. Therefore, it is recommended to unplug the unit from the charger after charging.

Has to so it can drill the hole .

If you open the jaws as large as they will go, there is a screw for fixing. It has a left hand thread!

Open the chuck as wide as it will open and look inside to see what type of screw/bolt it uses then using the correct tool insert it into the chuck and undo the bolt/screw, usually it will have a left hand thread so to unscrew it needs to be rotated in a clockwise directions, hold the chuck tightly but dont use excessive force if this does not work then try unscrewing it in the opposite direction, at all times be firm but like I mentioned earlier dont use excessive force.

Good day Can you please supply more information Thank you

I'd put penetrating oil in it and tap the chuck with a plastic hammer. That should free it up.

Best rgrds, W/D

there's a button behind the trigger for locking the trigger at full speed. there's a button above the trigger for clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation. there's a button on the top for hammer mode or regular mode. Hammer mode is for concrete, it basically makes the drill bit hammer in turning the concrete underneath it to dust as opposed to cutting with a sharp edged drill bit for regular stuff like wood or metal. If yours has numbers those are for torque settings, and are hardly ever used by professionals.

I searched the internet, and that also was used for a workbench, in case there is other information to search for a manual. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202391286088?ViewItem=&item=202391286088 Vintage Black Decker Plus Workmate 2 workbench Dual Height Workmate 750... http://powertool.manualsonline.com/manuals/mfg/black_decker/black_decker_drill_product_list.html
