Based on your avatar pic, if I was a bit and saw that face trying to get me to come out, i'd grab on for dear life too.    Big Grin

Sorry couldn't resist. Good luck with it.

If you have been using in a table the chip get in through the vent some how and stop the ratchet engaging, try blowing it out with an air gun or sucking it out with a dust extractor. This worked for me.

Bell chippy is correct Dean, the saw dust gets into the ratchet , you need to blow it out with a compressor, it only happens when used inverted.

Ask Festool about the bad design and they will deny it ever happens.
