1. Place the tool on its side so that the Oil Level Indicator (8) is shown vertically on the side

of the tool. Wait a few seconds for the oil to collect

Note:

The oil level can also be checked when the tool is held vertically.

2 . Check the oil level in the Oil Level Indicator

Note:

If the oil level is low, i.e. the level is below half of the Oil Level Indicator,

the oil needs to be topped up .

Topping up the oil

1. Place the tool down so the Oil Level Indicator (8) is on top facing up
2. Unscrew the Oil Level Indicator (8) using the Spanner supplied (Fig. III)

WARNING:

Be careful not to lose or damage the seal.

3. Top up the reservoir with the recommended oil (see “Specifications”),

to at least 1/2 of the Oil Level Indicator

Note:

For heavy duty use, fill the oil level to at least 3/4 of the Oil Level Indicator

WARNING:

DO NOT overfill. The level should be visible in the Oil Level Indicator.

4 .  Replace the Oil Level Indicator
5 .  Place the tool on its side and check the level
6.  Correct the fill level if necessary

Checking/replacing the carbon brushes

Important:

Check the carbon brushes every 100 hours of use.

• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn

for both brushes
1.  Remove the Brush Access Cap (7) by removing the 2 Phillips screws
2.  Unscrew the Brush Retaining Cap (Fig. II) and remove the Brush
3.  Inspect the Brush for wear

the spring at the top (Fig . II)

Note:

If either brush is worn, they should both be replaced.

5 . Replace the Brush Retaining Cap
