My makita is dying after 4 months of use??

The brushes on the motor are already going out (I can hear the clicking from them) and I haven't even used the machine for four months.. anyeone else have premature failure?

Is it covered by warranty if anyone knows before I give Makita a call?

Thanks!

Is it brand new? I bought mine off ebay over a year ago and its still going strong. Had to replace the cord due to wear but other than that its fine.

If it is new i would try take it in to be replaced hopefully under warranty.

 

I assume so. I should go check to see if there's a date stamp on the polisher, but I bought it from Phil on Oct.29th, and didn't use it until Mid-November

 

Let Phil know. I'm sure he would go good on it. I've had mine for probably 8 years now and I won't tell you what I've done to it but it still works perfectly.

 

just pmed him :thumb:

 

Per usual.. Phil is trying to take care of it! :thumb: :thumb:

 

wow 4 months :yikes:

 

New one will be here today! Sweet!! Can't wait to get it.. Phil was fantastic with the transaction. He didn't even have to receive mine before sending out a new one.. just a tracking number. Now THAT is wahat I call customer service! :thumb:

Hopefully Phil will get back to me with what happens with the machine. Using the metabo on the S4 I did this weekend was a bit odd.. haven't used it in MONTHS.

 

as always phil takes care of us!

 

glad everything is okay now.
