Repair Preview

  1. With the disc removed, select the lowest dial setting and run the tool briefly at no load.
  2. Set O, move the dial to the highest setting, then run the same brief no-load test.
  3. Repeat with a known-good charged battery and compare the audible and visible speed change.
  4. If there is still no clear change, remove the pack and use authorized service.
