dles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (battery pack, charger,
motor)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical
operation
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from charger and tool vents.
Keep tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or
grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the tool, battery pack and charger since certain
cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics
and other insulated parts. Some of these include
gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner
,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and house-
hold detergents containing ammonia. Never use
flammable or combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
WARNING
To reduce the risk of per-
sonal injury and damage, never immerse your

a liquid to flow inside them.

-
WARNING
Always remove battery pack
before changing or removing accessories.
Only use accessories specifically recommend
-
ed for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING
Excessive force on the feed
handle will break magnet free.
9. Even large bits only require a small amount of
pressure on the feed handle.
When feeding the cutter into the material, apply
only enough force to produce a curled chip. Ap-
plying too little force will result in small broken
chips and increased cutting time. Applying too
much force will cause overheating of the cutter
resulting in short cutter life. Overheating of the
cutter can be noticed when cutter and chips
turn brown or blue. Excessive force can cause
the cutter to slow down to a point where cutting
time will increase. The use of cutting lubricants
will reduce cutting heat and increase cutter life
Use less feed pressure when slotting or notch-
ing because there is less support for the cutting
edges in these situations.
10. Keep constant pressure throughout the entire
operation to prevent chips and burrs from falling
under the cutting edges. Cutting debris under
the cutter can make cutting difficult or impos
-
sible.
11. When the cut is complete, withdraw the cutter
while the spindle is still rotating.
12. Stop the drill motor by pushing in the on(I) / off(O)
switch.
13. When the spindle has stopped rotating, use
a pliers to remove cutting debris and chips
from the cutter and spindle. Use care to avoid
damaging the cutter teeth.
14.
The center pin is spring loaded. Provide protec-
tion from ejected slug for people and property
below cutting area.
15. Firmly grip the tool and rotate the magnet knob
to disengaging the magnet.
