Inspection, Maintenance, and

Cleaning

BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the 1. general condition of the Polisher.
Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, cracked or
broken parts, damaged electrical wiring,
and any other condition that may affect
its safe operation.
AFTER USE,2. clean external surfaces
of the tool with clean cloth. Do not
immerse any part of the tool in liquid.
Remove the Bonnet (52, 53) from the
tool when not in use. This will allow
the Bonnet to dry and retain its original
shape. The Bonnets may be machine-
washed in cold water with detergent.
Then machine-dry the Bonnets at
medium heat.
CARBON BRUSH MAINTENANCE: 3. IMPORTANT: Cleaning or replacing
the Carbon Brushes (19) should
only be done by a qualied service
technician.
The Carbon Brushes (19) may a. require maintenance when the motor
performance of the tool decreases or
stops working completely. To maintain
the Brushes:
First remove Right and Left Handles b. (2,9).
Remove the two Carbon Brushes (19) c. from the housing. Keep track of which
orientation the old Carbon Brushes
were in to prevent needless wear if they
will be reinstalled.
If either Carbon Brush (19) is worn d.
down by more than 1/2, replace both
Carbon Crushes.
To clean old Carbon Brushes (19) e. before reusing them, rub the contact
areas with a pencil eraser.
Reinsert the old Carbon Brushes (19) in f. the same orientation to reduce wear.
When installing the Carbon Brushes g. (19), make sure the carbon portions of
the Carbon Brushes contact the Motor
Armature, and that the Springs face
away from the Motor. Also, make sure
the Springs operate freely.
Note: New Carbon Brushes (19) tend to
spark when rst used until they wear and
conform to the Motor’s Armature.
4. WARNING! If the Power Cord (5) of
this Polisher is damaged, it must be
replaced only by a qualied service
technician.
