MAINTENANCE &
PART REPLACEMENT
Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the necessity for maintenance operations and will keep your
tool in good working condition. The tool bearings and gears are life-long lubricated, however it is
advised to check the condition of the grease in the head every 100 hours, if necessary replace the
grease. The motor must be correctly ventilated during tool operation. For this reason avoid blocking the
air inlets with hands. After use disconnect the tool from the power supply and clean carefully, use
compressed air through ventilation slots.
DISPOSAL
At the end of the machine’s working life, or when it can no longer be repaired, ensure that it is disposed
of according to the standard regulations of the country in which it is being used, and that the disposal
operation is carried out by specialised personnel following authorised guidelines.
In all circumstances:
- Do not abandon in the environment;
- Do not dispose of together with solid urban waste products;
- Contact the special recycling centres.
WARNING
Disconnect the plug from the power supply socket before replacing any parts.
BRUSHES
The brushes must be replaced after approx. 150-200 working hours, or if they are less then 5-6mm in
length.
WARNING
For correct tool operation always change the brushes in pairs, not separately. The use of original Draper
spare parts is recommended. After having fitted new brushes allow the motor to run without load for at
least five minutes for the brushes to bed in.
IMPORTANT:
This operation should only be performed by an authorised person.
REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
Check that the power supply cable is in good condition, if not have it replaced by an authorised person.
