Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20160708-D75AC-2147417094. Matched catalog product: Ryobi SA1802. Source model text: Ryobi SA1802. Incident: While light drilling into wood with my RYOBI SA1802 drill motor I began to smell a burning smell and observed smoke emitting from the cooling vents surrounding the motor. The rpm's slowed noticeably and I immediately removed the battery. This incident happened about 5 years ago. I purchased a new drill and while cleaning my garage today came across the one that had been smoking. I was going to throw it away but thought I would see if there was a way to repair it online. That is when I found this web site.
