I have a problem with my Makita Power Hammer Drill. The problem is when i use the drill feature on it and try to drill through a harder surface usually didn’t have a problem but now the safety feature that stops it from jamming and hurting you turns on really fast and it doesn’t drill. So my question is how can i fix it, or maybe i should replace the part all together? I need help fast, I need the drill.
Still under warranty? If you call them they might let you ship that one back and pick up a new one at the store while you are waiting for yours to be fixed and returned? It’s always worth a shot

What model number hammer drill? Is this a cordless model or corded? Are you referring to the clutch setting? Maybe you have the clutch too low?

I have to say if I have a problem with a tool and it’s out of warranty. I just throw it out.
If your Makita model hr4001c have under warranty, then you call them they might let you ship that back & pick up a brand spanking new at the store while you are waiting for yours to be fixed & returned? It is always worth a shot
