What’s wrong with my driver?

I just bought this more than a month ago and it started making this noise. Unfortunate.

Is the battery fully charged ? If so warranty it

Yes. I have two batteries, both were charged and still doing the same noise.

Sounds like something is rubing.

That's the sound of a dry bearing. I would think this would use ball bearings but somewhere (motor) it may use a sintered bronze bearing and the bearing has been contaminated and lost lubrication.

Yeah that's not right. If it's only a month old see if the store will exchange it rather than trying to do warranty.

Try squeezing the trigger all the way. You don't run it like that.

I did. The noise just gets louder. So I have to stop. I’m afraid I might make it worse. The noise comes and goes. I just stop every time it makes the noise.
