Hi,
Late November I purchased the DLX2131SY Kit, and noticed the following with the Drill:
- Noticeable axial play within the shaft / gearbox - this makes neat drilling somewhat challenging; The chuck runs true however.
- Rattling noise when spindle is slowing down / braking - only in Hi gear
- Gets quite warm under load (normal for a brushed unit I guess?)
(My AEG BSB 18ST doesn't have these "features", or they're nowhere near as pronounced - even nearing its retirement!)
Took the DHP482 back to the retailer - they idled and smelt it (?), said it's "normal". Raised it with Makita - said to take it to their repair centre.
Just want to figure out if I got a lemon or if the above is acceptable?
Cheers
