Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly,
and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush,
or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation
holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol,
petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
• Use water, a suitable cleaning solution, or mild solvent to clean rests of material off the
accessory. Wear appropriate protection equipment whilst cleaning, including eye, hand
and breathing protection
Note: Dispose of rest material and contaminated cleaning solution according to regulations.
Recycle where possible. Only use non-water solvents where absolutely necessary and
always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for safe usage.
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible
sparking

Plugs. Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised GMC service centre
