Bob: I expect the experts will want make & model - and maybe a photo 
before providing detailed info. I would start by cleaning the exposed 
portion of a reciprocating drill with a brass brush, tooth brush, rags 
and WD40 or something similar, repeating as long as it seems worthwhile. 
That's all I've ever really had to do.
