There is no reset button.

All power tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts because of wear from normal use.

The motor employs carbon brushes, which are consumable parts. When they become worn to or near the wear limit,you could have motor trouble.

When an auto-stop carbon brush is equipped, the motor will stop automatically. At that time, replace both carbon brushes with new ones have the same carbon brush numbers [see graphic, https://tinyurl.com/yzejtltq]. In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.

If the issue persists or if you require further advice, you may want to consult the company: use the contact information at https://www.contacthelp.com/hitachi.
