Hello, I have a Makita hm0810b, I had just started using it to take down some tiles when it suddenly lost power and a funny smell came out. It still turns on but when I put it against the tiles it doesn?t have the force. I already checked the chisel for proper placement and the grease and their both good. I have no idea what just happened and how to correct the problem. Thanks in advance!
that funny smell was it like a burning odor. Also if you can see into the area where the armature is do you see a LOT of sparking? Does it come up to full speed? Let me know and I will see what I can do.that funny smell was it like a burning odor. Also if you can see into the area where the armature is do you see a LOT of sparking?

Dont forget to lubricate o-rings when mounting parts in. For flat x rings you can hold then in hot water to make them softer and thrn put ring in a place
If laying more tiles after, keep the undersurface as level as you can. Wear ear and eye protection. If your hands start to tingle while using the hammer, take a break.
There is a machine the pros use too, a power scraper
burnt out field windings or failed armature segments would be a good assumption here. Over heating from prolonged heavy load use or worn brushes causing the bars on the armature to burn and burn the wires.. Have an appliance electrician look at it but generally a replacement unit will be required.
Could you please smell the transmission fluid sound like the clutches are burnt in the G/Box. If the oil i has lost its red color and smells funny then you have a serious problem
Stop running it! Don't use tools if they smell like something is burning. Often times you'll make it worse and will make the repair more costly. It could be as simple as replacing the brushes.
To check for worn brushes, remove the black metal cover on the bottom. Then unscrew the black plastic brush caps. Worn brushes will be very low and not have mush carbon left, have a broken spring, or may be sticking in the brush holder and aren't sliding in and out well enough.
If it's something more than that, take it in for repair.
hi , the bad news is you have almost certainley damged the motor and may have damaged the switch ( it is also the speed controller ) , the good news is because its a Makita then you will have little trouble in getting spares for it , if you repost the actual model and what country your in and ask for a spares diagram/parts list i will help further
