Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the dust collector itself, pull
the mains plug.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an approve service
centre.
- Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign
matter has entered the grills near the motor and
around the trigger switch. Use a soft brush to
remove any accumulated dust. Wear safety
glasses to protect your eyes whilst cleaning.
- Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular
intervals.
- If the body of the sander needs cleaning, wipe
it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can
be used but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other
abrasive cleaning agents. Never use caustic
agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION!
Water must never come in to contact
with the sander.
Replacing the Brushes
- During use, the carbon brushes will wear down
and will be indicated by a possible loss of power
and excessive sparking seen through the
ventilation slots.When the carbon brushes have
worn down to approximately 4-5mm, they will
require replacing.
-
Caution!
Make sure that the sander is isolated
from the mains power supply before fitting
accessories, maintenance and adjustment if in
doubt consult a qualified electrician.
- Place the sander on a workbench and using a
screwdriver remove the carbon brush housing
cover.
- Remove the carbon brush from the brush
housing and replace it with a new one. Slide the
new carbon brush in to the brush housing.
Repeat this procedure for the other carbon brush.
Then replace the carbon brush housing cover.
Note: Carbon brushes must be replaced in pairs.
