Cleaning
Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance pro- gram. Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mount- ing, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe opera- tion. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a dam- aged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired (see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor brushes need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on use, return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the following:
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your tool since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service center listed on the back cover of this operator’s manual.
