2. Inspecting the sanding belt
The abrasive performance of the sanding belt will
decrease if its abrasive particles become worn away
or clogged, greatly reducing the e
ffi
ciency of the tool.
If this occurs, replace with a new sanding belt.
3. Inspecting the screws
Regularly inspect all screws and ensure that they
are fully tightened. Should any of the screws be
loosened, retighten them immediately.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosened screws is
extremely dangerous.
4. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the
power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding
does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or
water.
5. Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected
on the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
6. Check for dust
WARNING
Wear protective glasses and a dust mask when
cleaning the dust bag with an air gun.
Failure to do so may result in inhalation or
exposure of the eyes to debris or dust.
Use an air gun or other similar tool to remove
materials, chips, etc. which have adhered to the
body, and wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth
moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt
plastics.
