Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance program.
Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect guards,
switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for loose
screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken
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”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor brushes
need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on use, return
your tool to the nearest
MILWAUKEE service facility for the following:
•
Lubrication
•
Brush inspection and replacement
•
Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings,
housing, etc.)
•
Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
•
Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool
before performing any maintenance. Never disas-
semble the tool or try to do any rewiring on the tool's
electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE service fa-
cility for ALL repairs.
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and dam-
age to the tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or
allow a liquid to flow inside the tool.
MAINTENANCE
ACCESSORIES
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free
of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool since
certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insu-
lated parts. Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner,
paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents
around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service center
listed on the back cover of this operator’s manual.
