MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
MAINTENANCE
Service
It is recommended that all service on your Freud tool be performed by an
Authorized Freud service center. Service by unauthorized service personnel
may result in misplaced internal components resulting in risk of tool
malfunction and personal injury to the tool user.
Power Cord
Check that the power cord is in good condition. If it is not, have it replaced
immediately at a Freud Authorized service center.
Tool Lubrication
All power tools require care and attention. Every couple of years, we
recommend leaving the tool with an authorized Freud service center for a
general cleaning and lubrication.
Ventilation Openings
Make sure the air vents are always kept clean and free of obstacles. If
clogged, vacuum out obstruction. It is recommended that you blow off the
entire tool with compressed air after each use.
Bearings
We recommend that at every couple of years, or when needed, the bearings
be inspected by an authorized Freud service technician. Bearings that
become very noisy should be replaced at once to avoid overheating or motor
failure.
Inspect Accessories
Regularly inspect your router bits. Using worn accessories with diminish the
efficiency of the work and could damage the tool's motor.
Inspect Screws
Regularly inspect all screws in your power tool and make sure they are
properly tightened. Loose screws should be retightened immediately.
