MAINTENANCE
WARNING- It is recommended that all repairs or parts replacement be performed
only by a qualified service technician.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator of the tool should be examined after several
months of use. When the sparks around the commutator become excessive, the
carbon brushes should be changed.
CLEANING
WARNING- Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, the power supply
must be disconnected from the tool.
Dry, compressed air may be the most effective cleaning method.
CAUTION- Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings must be kept clean. Do not attempt to clean by inserting
pointed objects through openings.
Regularly inspect all mountings and screws to ensure they are properly
tightened. Should any screws be loose, tighten them immediately. Failure to do
so may result in serious damage.
Keep the tool housing and handle clean and free of oil and grease using mild
soap and a damp (not wet) cloth.
Avoid overloading your grinder. It will become hot and lose efficiency. Running it
free of load for a minute or two will allow it to cool itself to normal temperature.
Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair facility if it
is damaged.
Lubrication for this tool is done at the factory and should not be necessary again
under normal use.
Check the grinding disc regularly for cracking and other damage. Do not use a
damaged disc.
An authorized repair centre should do any repairs, modification, or maintenance
that involve disassembling the tool. Any damage to the tool should be corrected
at an authorized repair centre.
