It could be one of two problems, one simple, one serious.

• Easy fix
  

1. Turn off hot water angle stop under sink to faucet.
2. Remove supply line from hot angle stop.
3. Place end of supply line in a small bucket to catch some water.
4. Turn on cold water for a couple of seconds and backflush debris from faucet.
5. Reconnect supply line.
6. Turn on angle stop and test
   

• Complex fix

If you have steel pipes you may be experiencing reduced flow due to corrosion in your pipes. Reduced hot water pressure in the kitchen faucet is usually the first sign since this is the faucet that is most used in the home.

Repiping is a job for a professional. Another symptom you may need a repipe is orange colored or rusty water.

This could be a couple of things.

1. First remove the aerator from the wand and make sure you have plenty of flow with it off.
2. If there is flow clean or replace the aerator.
3. Remove the wand and look between the hose connection and the wand there should be a screen between them. Remove the screen and clean or replace.
4. Make sure hose is kinking under the sink.

The little wrench tightens the tension ring that fits on the inside of the retaining nut right under the handle. You fit the little "arms" in the notches.

The top pops off and there is a crew under it. It's all pretty easy but when you put it back together you have to do a tricky angle kick with the handle. Watch carefully as you take the handle off and put it on and off several times to see what is needed. If you do it wrong the handle sets on top of the black thing and doesn't work right, The cartridge in the faucet pulls out with difficulty if you have hard water. There is a little clip near the the top that holds the cartridge in. You should be able to get a repair kit that has the cartridge and new O-rings for the spout.

Pry the hot/cold button off the top of the handle. Make sure the water is turned off below the sink.

Under the button should be screws. Remove the screws. Pry the handle off. Remove the stems by lifting then out.

That should give you access to the washers you need to change.
