MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.

CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth damp- ened only with water and mild soap.

Lubrication

DEWALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. Tools should be relubricated regularly every sixty days to six months, depending on usage. (Tools used constantly on pro- duction or heavy-duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication.) This lubrication should only be attempt- ed by trained power tool repair-persons, such as those at DEWALT service centers or by other qualified service personnel.

Motor Brushes

When brushes become worn, the tool will automatically stop and prevent damage to the motor. Brush replacement should be per- formed by a DEWALT authorized service center or other qualified service personnel.

Accessories

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance in locating any accessory for your tool, contact: DeWALT Industrial Tool Co., 701 East Joppa Road, Baltimore, MD 21286.
