General

Regular periodic maintenance on your Model G5968/9 Angle Grinder will ensure its optimum performance. Make a habit of inspecting your grinder each time you use it. Check for the following conditions and repair or replace when necessary:

•Loose fasteners.

•Worn switch.

•Worn or damaged cords and plugs.

•Any other condition that could hamper the safe operation of this equipment.

Keeping Tool Clean

The Model G5968/9 Angle Grinder will give you years of trouble free service if you keep it clean and free of built-up dust or grime. Ensure that no air passages get blocked. If they do, blow them out with compressed air.

Plastic parts can easily be cleaned with a damp cloth, but never use water to clean any electrical parts. Solvents should also be avoided on plastic because of the pos- sibility of damage.

Brushes

The brushes need to be checked periodi- cally to ensure optimum performance. If the brushes need to be replaced, simply unscrew the plastic cap on both sides of the grinder back by the trigger. Pull out and inspect the brushes. Either re-install or replace the brushes at this time.

Repair and Service

All quality tools will eventually wear from normal use. Since the grinder is encased in a double insulated plastic cover, leave repair and service issues to a qualified ser- vice technician.
