Hi
I have just got hold of a drill with a strange problem. The drill is rated at 110v when switched on it turns slowly and starts to smell and heat up.
I have telted the field coil and the armature for resistance and continuity and they both read good. The armature actually looks brand new. I live in the UK and am now wondering if someone has replaced the armature with a 240v one by mistake. Does anyone know if there is a way to check the armature for the correct voltage rating?
