Makita DHP458 user manual

There could be several reasons why your Makita DHP458 drill is not working. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Check the power source: Ensure that the drill has a charged battery or is properly connected to a power outlet, depending on whether it is a cordless or corded drill.
2. Examine the battery: If your Makita DHP458 is a cordless drill, check the battery to ensure it is fully charged and properly inserted into the drill. If the battery is old or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
3. Verify the switch: Make sure that the drill's power switch is in the correct position, either on or off, depending on whether you want the tool to be operational.
4. Check the trigger: Ensure that the drill's trigger is functioning correctly. If it feels loose or unresponsive, there may be an issue with the trigger mechanism that requires repair or replacement.
5. Investigate any additional safety features: Some drills may have safety mechanisms such as a lock button or a safety switch that needs to be activated or disengaged for the tool to work properly. Review the drill's user manual to understand any specific safety features and how to operate them.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, it is recommended to consult the Makita customer support or a qualified technician for further assistance.
