You will need to have someone take it a part and see where the problem lies.
Start with the electrical plug, both the wall plug and inside the drill where the wire attaches to the switch.
Often, the switch is the problem, but the wire itself can be bad, if the cord is worn.
There is such a thing as the wire separating inside the cord.
We will hope the unit is not "toast".
God bless your efforts.
This is usually indicative of a broken wire in the cord near the handle. Plug the tool in, hold the trigger on and pull the cord in different directions near the handle. If it cuts off & on, one or more of the wires in the cord are broken and it should be replaced.
A lot of times B&D makes molded cords that work with Craftsman stuff. Look up a service center near you and take the cord in to see if they can match it up with something they have. (Take the drill in too.)
Hold the trigger down and wiggle the cord at the plug and at the tool, see if you can get it to take off by doing that. If you can, its a cord. The 0200-20 has brushes, unless this was posted in the wrong section, in which case I will need your model and serial number to help any further.
If you look at the trigger/switch mechanism, you'll note little lettered ovals on either side at the bottom/base where the wires go. The black (hot) wire from the plug goes to the side stamped "LINE", and the white (neutral) wire goes to the side stamped "LOAD"
Have you removed the old cord yet, if not make a crib sheet showing where the wires go. If the wires push into the switch use a staple and bend one of the long ends and push into hole and when pushing gently pull the cord wire out. Let me know if you need any other help
On the trigger switch, if you look really closely you will see that there are clips inside where the wires go in. If you use a jewelers flat screwdriver or other narrow flat instrument, you can push the clip back enough to release the wire.
If the replacement cord doesn't have clips on the ends of the wires, make sure that you tin (apply solder) to the ends of the new wires before inserting them into the trigger. This is needed to keep the individual strands from being pushed everywhere and causing a short, and stiffens the end, making it easier to insert.
If you need further assistance, let me know. If this was helpful for you, please rate the solution.
some of the dewalt drill switches have a one way trap (like) for the wire. you push the wire in and the harder you pull it gets tight on its self. your wires go in the bottom of the trigger look right on top of each wire there is a small **** (no bigger then 3/16) for a flat head screw drive. In the **** you will see a small lever, it needs to be turned at the same time pull. It will help to have a friend.
