hi,i really wouldnt bother with it, i have 1 with same prob, less than a year old, had 1 repair from makita in a local tool centre, i was never impressed with it, it seems the 850 watt 8406 was much better, if yours is 110volt, theres 1 spare/repair on ebay with gearbox prob.

It sounds like you have a bad armature and possibly a field. This may be more expensive then actually buying a new one. Armatures are one of the most expensive things in Power Tools.
