MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. The use of any
other part may create a hazard or cause product damage.
DO NOT
use solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Plastics are susceptible
to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
DO NOT
abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage the tool and
the workpiece.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify tools or create accessories. Any such alteration
or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious injury. It will also void the warranty.
NOTE:
It has been found that electric tools are subjected to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass
boats and sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The
chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric
tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently,
it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any
fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. During
any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing it out with an air jet.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount
of high-grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
REPLACING THE CARBON MOTOR BRUSHES
The carbon motor brushes will wear down and require replacing. The time
intervals between replacements will vary depending upon the torques
being achieved and the hours of use. It is recommended that the brushes
be checked after each 10 hours of use. When the length of the carbon
brush reaches 1/4" (6.35 mm), the brushes should be replaced.
WARNING
Make sure the oscillating tool is unplugged from the power source.
REMOVING WORN MOTOR BRUSHES
1. Remove any accessory that has been installed on the tool.
2. Lay the tool on its left side on a towel or on corrugated. (Figure 9)

The two screws (3) at the rear of the handle are shorter than the
other three. These must be replaced in the same position when replacing
the handle screws.
4. Carefully lift off the right hand half of the handle.
NOTE:
Make sure you note the positioning of the speed control wheel
and all the wires. They must be placed in exactly the same position when
reassembling the handle.
5. Use a small slot screwdriver to lift the end of the coil spring (4) upward
and place it on top of the spade connector (5) (Fig. 10).

6. Use small needle nose pliers to pull the braided wire spade connector
(6) from the spade terminal (7).
7. Carefully grasp the braided copper brush wire (8) and lift the carbon
brush (9) from the brush holder (10).
INSTALLING NEW MOTOR BRUSHES
8. Once the old carbon brush has been removed, use a SOFT DRY brush
to carefully remove all cutting dust from the brush holder and install
the new carbon brush in the reverse order that was used to remove the
worn carbon brush.
9. Re-install the new carbon brush in reverse order of paragraphs 5, 6 and 7.
NOTE:
Make sure the braided brush wire is routed EXACTLY the same as
the original. Make sure the end of the coil spring is placed on top of the
carbon brush. (Figure 12)
10. Replace the right hand half of the handle.
NOTE:
Make sure the speed control wheel and all wires are placed in
exactly the same position as they were when the right hand handle was
removed. Do NOT replace the handle screws until the second motor brush
has been replaced.
11. Grasp the re-assembled handle and turn the tool onto its right side and
remove the left half of the handle.
12. Remove and replace the second carbon motor brush using the same
procedures noted above.
13. Once the second motor brush has been replaced, reposition the left half
of the handle, making sure the speed control wheel and all wires are
placed in exactly the same position as they were when the left half of
the handle was removed.
14. Replace the left half of the handle, making sure it fits properly and that
all six screws are fully tightened in place.
NOTE:
Make sure the two shorter screws are installed in the rear of the
handle where the power cord enters the handle.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
POWER SOURCE CONNECTION POWER
REQUIREMENTS
This product is designed to operate on a properly grounded 120 volt,
60Hz, single-phase alternating current (AC) power source fused with a
time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is recommended that a qualified
electrician verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into which the
product will be plugged and confirm that the receptacle is properly fused
and grounded.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS PRODUCT
if the ACTUAL power source voltage
is less than 105 Volts AC or greater than 132 Volts AC. Contact a qualified
electrician if this problem exists. Improper performance and/or damage to
the product will result if operated on inadequate or excessive power.
DO NOT
abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry tools or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
