Check to make sure that the little switch for choosing forward or reverse isn't stuck right in the middle (the switch is right by the trigger. If it's right in the middle you won't be able to push the trigger.

I also had a problem with the rail that was related to the quick release. You need to ensure the screw and nut combination is set right to get a good solid bite on the rail. Play around with it till you get a secure fit.

So sorry I haven't responded sooner, been having major internet problems. Have you "squeezed" the trigger back towards the bottle? If you did, and it didn't work, it may be defective.

I had the same problem, had to call the company to figure it out. Press the right "trigger" and it should activate it. Press again to turn it off

The bolt and nylock nut may be to tight, just loosen both just enough that the arms move freely. The amount that you loosen them should be very minute at first and a small amount of some type of spray lube is okay too. The wood screws it came with should also be replaced with a higher quality screw And pre drill out the holes first before shooting screws into studs. I really like mine. Hope this helps.

What happened to me was that the bit got stuck and has been impossible to remove. ALso, the drill basicaklly lacks torque.

You need to unscrew the silver bolt a little to loosen it then press down the silver button on the front of the drill and then the bit should go all the way in. Then screw the silver bolt back to tighten it

Try switching around the feet and don't tighten anything until you get all the bolts through. If anything, you might have to drill a little, but I didn't have to. Just keep it kinda loose, until you get everything in.

Mine has a button on the trigger that sometimes gets out of place and stops it from shooting. Also if you don't have the tip seated on the work it will not shoot.

Hi PD, have you tried adjusting the center bit with the included Allen wrench? Also what seems to be the problem?

Not a great drill...got rid of mine...when applied lots of pressure the chuck jammed and I couldn't change drill bits. This drill is inexpensive for a reason!

I had the same problem, so I asked my husband and he was able to push the bit in, and now I'm able to put the other bits in myself. Although it works ok, the bits now come out sometimes when using the drill. Hope this helps.

This is a common problem with these units and the company refuses to do anything about it. I took my trigger Handle and Trigger but it would not fit. So....I just put the whole thing in our Recycle Bin and bought a new one off of Amazon. Sorry to say, if yours is a Home Depot brand, I'd get a refund and buy a different brand.

I noticed one of the bolts became a little bit loose after a particularly strenuous work out. I removed all of the bolts, used a little Loctite and put the bolts back in and tightened them. No more bacing out bolts. I hope this helps.

Sometimes the little trigger gets stuck. Look under the handle at the switch and see if you can manually press it in or out.
