I was in the process on installing new curtain rods in my house using my Kawasaki 19.2v hand held drill when the trigger began to get hot and smoke started to come out from the vents. I immediately stopped using the device unplugged the re-chargeable battery from the device and placed it outside. I looked online to see if the drill had been recalled, which it had but my serial numbers did not fall with in the range of numbers recalled. To my surprise the web site said that because the serial number did not fall within the range of numbers it was safe to continue using. My drill was not safe to continue using and I feel that the company should recall the entire model because the problem has not been fixed. Drill: Kawasaki 19.2v wireless drill Serial Number:6110014882

After screwing 2 support 2x4's for drywall using my Kawasaki model 691220 (21.6V), I put my drill down and moved to the adjacent walk-in closet to paint. After a couple minutes, I heard a continuous noise, stopped painting and went back to the bathroom where I saw the drill RUNNING. It had started on its own and smoke was coming out of it. Although hot, I was able to remove the battery to stop it. Today, a day later, the drill still smells bad. This drill is part of a cordless kit (drill, circular saw, flashlight, reciprocating saw; Model 840663. Since I had the problem with only the drill, I wonder if the other tools could have the same issue.

I bought a Warrior hammer drill from Harbor Freight in Murfreesboro, TN. Within 1 minute of me using it, it began to smoke really bad at the motor and I could smell a bad burning smell. It was so bad it actually burned my hand. I exchanged it for another drill at the Harbor Freight in Smyrna, TN. After using less than 30 seconds, the second drill began doing the same thing and I turned it off before it could burn me. I informed Harbor freight of the safety issue and also posted videos online as proof.
