MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug from the receptacle during maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the tool bits
Since use of a dull tool will cause motor malfunctioning
and degraded efficiency, replace the tool bit with a new
one or resharpening without delay when abrasion is
noted.
2. Inspecting the screws
Regularly inspect all screws and ensure that they are
properly tightened. Should any of the screws be loose,
retighten them immediately.
WARNING
Using this Rotary Hammer with loosen screws is
extremely dangerous.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit is the very "heart" of the power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the motor does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes: (Fig. 20)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. When they become worn to or near
"wear limit", it could result in motor trouble.
When an auto-stop carbon brush is equipped, the
motor will stop automatically. At that time, replace both
carbon brushes with new ones which have the same
carbon brush Nos. shown in the figure.
In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and
ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.
CAUTION
Using this Rotary Hammer with a carbon brush
which is worn in excess of the wear limit will
damage the motor.
