MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
●
Be sure to turn off the switch and pull out
the battery before doing any inspection or
maintenance.
●
Using cracked, deformed or damaged wheels
can lead to wheel breakage and resulting serious
injury.
1.
Inspecting the wheel
Ensure that the wheel is free of cracks and surface
defects.
2.
Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately.
WARNING
Using this die grinder with loosened screws is
extremely dangerous.
3.
Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4.
Check for Dust
Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth
dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for
they may damage the plastics.
5.
Inspection of terminals (tool and battery)
Check to make sure that swarf and dust have not
collected on the terminals.
On occasion check prior, during and after operation.
CAUTION
Remove any swarf or dust which may have collected
on the terminals.
Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
6.

battery must explode if it is incinerated. The
battery is recyclable. At the end of it's useful
life, under various state and local laws, it may be

NOTE
○
To clear the unit of grime or dust, periodically run
the motor in a no-load state and blow dry air into the
ventilation hole with the fi lter removed.
Accumulation of grime or dust accumulates in the
motor can cause damage.
○
After cleaning, make sure to securely attach the fi lter.
8.
Storage
Storing in a place below 104°F (40°C) and out of the
reach of children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time
may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using
the batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries
dead and purchase new batteries.
