When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts or failure
to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Daily Maintenance

Inspect the power plug and cord.
•
Keep area around machine clear of debris.

Check daily for any unsafe conditions and fix immediately.
•
Check that all nuts and bolts are properly tightened.
Regular Maintenance (Weekly
– Monthly)
•

•
Apply rust inhibitive lubricant to all non-painted surfaces.
•
Clean the machine and accessories.
Semi-Annually Maintenance
•
Check that all fasteners on the machine are tight and secure.

•
Check the brushes for wear and replace when they reach 1/4" (6.3mm).
Troubleshooting
In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect
the plug. Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of dirt in the stator or worn out carbon
brushes.
Note: Proper maintenance can increase the life expectancy of your machine.
WARNING:
Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on
the machine.
Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel.
