MAINTAINING EQUIPMENT
Keep equipment in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program. Before use, examine
the general condition of equipment. Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for
damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, bro-
ken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not
use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired. See Repairs.
• Mechanical inspection
• Cleaning (pulleys, spindles, bearings, housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, plugs, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
• Check nuts on shock absorbers and bottom plate for tightness
• Check screws on bottom bearing for tightness
• Check all screws and fittings for a tight and secure fit
• Keep a sharp blade in machine for optimum performance
CLEANING
REPAIRS
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the Equipment handle clean, dry and free of oil or grease.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harm-
ful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner,
paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia.
Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools. Machine is pressure washable. Make
sure machine is dry before operation.
If your tool is damaged, contact PEARL for a return authorization number and return the entire tool.
