When speed is on settings 2 (middle) and drill stops, there is a loud metal click. (It doesn't happens when on Speed 1 or 3). Is it a sign of malfunction ?

My drill does this when stopping from speeds 2 and 3. I believe it is because of the heaving gearing.

Thanks for the feedback...as it turns out, the switch on the back of the unit was set for gas instead of electric. Once I flipped the switch, it started cycling properly. I agree that the click can be annoying, but hey, if it gets the job done, I can live with it. Thanks again.

I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best... » Read More I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck « Show Less

Yes, and the most sensitive I ever used. Can run the drill at very slow speed; great for starting screws.

For small increment movements (like a few degrees), the sound is like "zip, zip" - kind of like what a robot sounds like. When it starts up or if there is like a large degree rotation movement, you'll definitely hear it if you're in a small room and there is no sound. It does sound like a robot's gears moving, but it's not loud. I've never heard any click noises before. But if it sounds like it's an abnormal grinding sound, the gears are probably worn or broken. It should be smooth sounding like a typical robot movement sound.

Mine does the same thing, makes a loud clicking noise when mixing bread or thick cookie dough. Kitchenaid's response was: "The clicking noise is normal, especially under a heavy load." so it is a known problem. Personally, I would call this a design defect. No other motorized appliance I have ever used made noises unless it was broken. I may opt for a smaller model or a different brand.

The speed of rotation is not drived by the trigger like drill, the speed is drived by rotary switch so the polisher start slowly (not like grinder) and at the lowest speed it's around 600rpm

We have actually experienced the same issue with the banging sound. It isn't consistent from use to use or even within one session. It doesn't appear to alter the performance, but it is certainly annoying. It isn't clear what the cause is so I'm hoping it isn't causing internal damage to the machine.

As slowly as you are able to finesse the trigger. The action on mine is smooth and even, not touchy, too hard or easy. I simple squeeze the trigger as I would when shooting and the drill will start to barely turn. It can be kept at that speed or squeeze a bit more and speed it up, whichever is needed. My drill will start, turn and continue to turn at speeds much lower than 200 RPM. I use this to make sure I have the bit on the mark; it is very handy.

Hi Hazel -- I wonder if you ever resolved this problem. I have been using this treadmill for a few months now and loving it but today it started making a clunking sound when belt running. I found the user manual online but there is no mention of the problem. You call it 'clicking' I call it 'clunking' but I think we could both be having the same problem, so am wondering if you ever resolved this. Any advice you might have would be much appreciated.

No. It turns on with the switch. You use the dial to change the drill speed.

It happend that to me many times.i hold on to the chuck really hard and switch the drill going backwards and push drill button it should loose up.

Hi, there is a speed setting on the drill to help control the speed, so you can slow it down. I would also highly recommend using the star screws instead of phillips screws. If you use the bronze star head screws, they will break in half before they will strip, but you'll still want to be easy on them with this drill, as it is very powerful. In other words, don't pull the trigger full force on the fastest settings.

Yes that's correct. In my case this drill has no variable speed. If you read the product description carefully, you can see there: ,,variable speed 0-2500 rpm..." this words means, that you can regulate the speed of your drill as you wish while pressing the switch kay. But drill has only 2500 while pressing switch key, it regulates nothing.Otherwise the quality of this item is pretty good.

I think this refers to RPM. 60 TO 100 for example. Thickness and kind of material will dictate maximum speed for best results. Slower speed for thicker material, faster speed for thinner material. Also, look up "drill speed."

its pretty normal, I mean you have a metal on metal contact to drive the nail.... how would a spark be abnormal? I get sparks off when using a hammer, so its nothing I would worry about.
