INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING

Caution! Make sure the Power Switch of the Hammer Drill is in its “OFF” position and that the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspec- tion, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

1.Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Hammer Drill. 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. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.

2.Periodically recheck all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness.

3.Keep clean by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

4.Store in a clean and dry location when not in use.

5.Periodically, using a rag and light oil, wipe drill bits and other steel parts of the drill to keep them from rusting.

6.Periodically blow out the motor air vents of dust and debris using compressed air.

7.Over time, if the performance of the tool diminishes, or it stops working completely, it may be necessary to replace the motor’s Carbon Brush (21). If the Carbon Brush is only dirty, it can be cleaned with an ink eraser and replaced again.

Replacing or cleaning Carbon Brushes must be completed by a qualified service technician.
