5. MAINTENANCE
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared supply cord
available through the service organization.
KEEP TOOL CLEAN.
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
Clean the vacuum swivel connector as too much dust will keep it from turning freely.
THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their wear limit.
NOTE: Checking and replacing the carbon brushes should be entrusted to a qualified service center.
The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately 50 hours of running time or 10,000 on/off cycles. Replace
both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4’’ length of carbon remaining. To inspect or replace brushes,
first unplug the machine and lay it on its side. Remove the 3 screws to remove the left and right motor rear
bracket halves. Unscrew the two Carbon Brush Holders and remove the Carbon Brushes.
NOTE: When putting the Carbon Brushes back into the Carbon Brush Holders it is essential that both flanges go
back inside the holder.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure the brushes go back in the way they came out. Otherwise a
break-in period will occur that will reduce motor performance and increase brush wear.
Replacing is the reverse of removal. When replacing all covers, take great care that all wires are in place and not
in a position to be pinched when they are retightened. It is recommended that, at least once a year, you take the
tool to an Authorized Service Center for a thorough cleaning and lubrication.
6. DISPOSAL

European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment and its
implementation into national law, electrical products used must be collected separately and disposed of at
collection points provided for this purpose. Talk with your local authorities or dealer for advice on recycling.
