Hello, I hate when this happens to my tools. This could be a number of issues. I would think that the transistor that controls the motor speed is shot or the motor itself is loading the transistor causing the smoke, or the brushes internally of the motor are worn and causing the overheating, hence smoke. Is the unit new or well used?

I have the same problem. Any way to fix this?
It involves disassembling the drill and then photo the insides of the drill before you move anything. This is the oh **** factor in case you forget how things go together. This is where you use your eyes and nose. Look for anything burnt and sniff out your switch and motor to see where the damage is. Sometimes the parts are more expensive then replacing the drill itself. You should search on line for replacement parts.
