Chosen Solution
Bought used Makita bhp456 and turns out it has peoblem - when trigger is released it doesnt stop itself,there is no brake. The drill keeps spinning until it slowly comes to stop. It keeps spinning without power,like in neutral,just the inertia of the mottor. What could cause the problem and what could be the fix? It doesn’t have warranty.
Ok, first check to see if the trigger lockout has been engaged, it’s a small level at the top of the trigger ( I know this sounds silly, but it happens sometimes). Flip it side to side to see if you can hear the selector moving the switch inside the drill. If the selector moves freely without engaging the switch, you’ll have to disassembly the drill housing to put the selector back into the lever so it will work.
Just take out all the screws in the housing and carefully remove the one side and look at the switch lever and make sure it is inside the slide selector lever.
