MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a necessary regular
maintenance procedure. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out. ALWAYS WEAR
SAFETY GLASSES.
CAUTION:
Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic
parts of the tool. Use clean, dry rag only.
Lubrication
DeWalt tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. Tools should be
relubricated regularly every sixty days to six months, depending on usage. (Tools used constantly
on production or heavy-duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication.)
This lubrication should only be attempted by trained power tool repair persons, such as those at
DeWalt service centers or in other qualified service organizations.
Motor Brushes
When brushes become worn, the tool will automatically stop and prevent damage to the motor.
Brush replacement should be performed by DeWalt authorized service centers.
DEWALT AFTER SALES SERVICE
All DeWALT power tools are thoroughly tested before leaving the factory. However, if the power tool
needs repair, please contact your dealer or take it to your nearest DeWALT Service Centre. There is
a Service Centre in every capital city. For service, repair or parts call 1800 654 155.
ACCESSORIES
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local service
centre. Call 1800 654 155 (Aust) or 09 526 2556 (NZ).
CAUTION:
The use of any non-recommended accessory may be hazardous.
