I just bought the drill does any of you when you use drill see spark inside the motor? I think it happens during counter clockewise.

On tools like this is it common to see current flowing within in the motor when at high RPMs. Don't be concerned.

This is common when operating electric drills. I have a rechargeable drill that throws sparks out of the cooling vents and never had problems with it and I mean big one. On this drill I see some but not excessive. This is normal. SOme more than others and other wont show much but little sparks. Could be the commuter slightly offset (not really round) when out of manufacturing. However if it runs dont fix it. New brushes with have the same effect. My cordless drill still did it when I replaced the brushes. I wouldnt worry about it, unless you dont have much torque or it seems to bog down a lot. Otherwise dont be too concerned. I am happy with mine. Was the best drill I ever used. Hope this helps for you....

no spark on my tool. There is definitely something wrong with it. I would suggest returning it as a defective product.

It might be. My motor still works. The orginal motor burnt out because the canister was full of leaves. You might want to check that everything is put back and working correctly. The motor might be working too hard.

Mine was good. It was not initially charged but it charged up fine and it holds a charge OK so I didn't have to buy a new drill. If yours will not hold a charge, then that is a problem.

I here the slap as well but no sparks. My drill is 2 years old and still worth every penny I paid for it

We haven't had issue with spark. The mixer and steel quality is very good. We have had no issues with it so far and are very happy with the mixer

Almost all Dewalt battery powered drills( and others) will sound off 1 or 2 knocks when stopping due to the braking power of the DC motor. let off of the trigger smoe slowly and the knock should disapear. If not you may wish to exchange it if it is new. or have it checked if under warrenty.

Send it back. Had one that did the same thing , it was a burned out motor . Sounds like you still hxve a warranty.

Try to click on and off switch on the front of the drill or take off and then put back the bit.that might help.if not I'm afraid you got to return it;)

that is not normal. You do have to wait for the motor to finish unlocking before opening but other than that I have never had it do what you describe. It has been running flawlessly for a year now. It is used two to three times a day.

I have observed sparks several times when firing nails. I believe that it is caused by the plunger striking the nail when it is set. No ill effects to machine or man have been noted (but please do wear eye protection!).

I have problems with first speed. It is stopping to drill.It is light. Better buy a brushless drill.

I have owned my drill for about a year and I get alot of use out of it. So far, I have not had any problems with bits coming out of the chuck. I have used both standard and the hex shaft bits for drilling holes and driving various size wood/deck screws. I have not done any metal work, except small sheet metal projects. Most of the things I do are privacy fences and playscapes, not any real heavy construction projects. Again, I have been very satisfied with the performance of my drill. By the way, I have noticed the batteries recharge quicker and seem to last a little longer than two other drills that I own.I hope this helps.

I owned the non fuel model before, couldnt handle my abuse, the fuel model I just bought and it's supposed to have more torque and be overall a better drill, brushless is bonus. Fuel is their top o' the line is my understanding.

Pretty simple. It's either 360 or 720 degrees. I will think it's 360 since your motor has what is known as waste spark wich means it sparks at every revolution thus 360 degrees. My motor on the other hand only sparks on compression (TDC) thus every 720 degrees. Hope this helps. I've used several of this units and have only positive things to say about them. Good luck, Julio...

I'm on my second Ninja Master Prep, and have never had this problem. It sounds like a factory problem. I would call the store you bought it from (Target took back my first one when the motor quit working after the first month), and if they won't return/exchange for you, then contact the company. http://www.ninjakitchen.com/ If they don't take care of you, then use Facebook and Twitter to get their attention.

It's a very powerful machine. To tell the truth, I saw sparks once and had to reset the breaker. I think the way it can rock (if it is not on a level surface) can generate enough friction to unseat the wires. The reason wires will spark in an outlet is because there isn't a good connection. If you notice sparks, you might want to turn off your electricity (first) and check the outlet and that the wires seem securely screwed/grounded in place. Make sure the blender sits level on your counter when you turn it on. I shouldn't be sitting on its cord for example, which might tilt it a little off center and make it more likely to shake.
