Dewalt charger problem

Hi,

Please could you kindly help me,

I've just bought a new nano technology Dewalt hammer drill 18v

Thedrill and batteries work perfectly, but when I came to charge thebatteries for the first time. The red light came on for a few minutesand then disappeared. Now it doesn't work at all, no red light and nocharged battery.

Could someone please advice me as what to do?

I've checked the fuse in the transformer and it seem fine. (very thin single wire attached both ends)

Is there an additional fuse I should check, perhaps in the charger it's self?

Hope someone can help :)

Cheers
Jon

Inside my (older, non nano) dewalt charger there is indeed a fuse, which has never blown (yet).
I'd be suggesting that you contact dewalt before you void your warranty by opening it up though.

Just stopped working completely no power

This is an excellent tool, I have 3 myself and I've had similar issues. Here are a few things you can try.

1. Dewalt seems to have a glitch in the speed control slide on the top. I say this because with two of my drills I sometimes have to slide it from low speed to high, and then back again to get it to engauge.

2. I have also had to clean the contact points in the charger, as well as the ones on the drill.

I hope one of these will help resolve your issue.

I have a dewalt 18v cordless hammer drill but for some reason while drilling the drill does not spin as fast as it used to batteries are fine just the drill any ideas

depends on where you drilling- wood - no hammer option needed- fast, metal- no hammer option needed- also fast, but it is concrete- sorry- hammer option needed so it will always drill slower, and drain your batteries way faster (have a spare one ready).Speaking about drilling - don't drill for too long with no breaks to cool them down, always keep an eye on gun's and battery's temperature- even if it is new Lithium NANO, do not let them overheat.
BTW- what model is yours? Is It SDS hammer drill sort of DC212KL?
