DHP482 Notes / observations


Sneaky

Recommended Posts

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 :)

The gearbox/clutch is broken. My DDF482 (wich is the same drill without hammer function) had the same problems. I had it fixed once, and when it broke down again I bought a DDF484 which has metal gears, DDF482 has plastic gears.

I opted for the DHP482 because a number of sources stated: "All metal gear construction". Unless these vary by region / country of manufacture?

 

Either way, the rattle noise and other matters make me nervous. The thing is brand new.
