2.Check the Mounting Screws
Loose mounting screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION: Using this power tool with loosen, screws is extremely dangerous.
3.Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4.How to replace grease
Low viscosity grease is applied to this rotary hammer so that it can be used for a long period without replacing the grease. Please contact the nearest service center for grease replacement when any grease is leaking from loosened screw. Further use of the rotary hammer despite the grease shortage causes seizure to reduce the service life.
CAUTION: A specific grease is used with this machine, therefore, the normal perfor- mance of the machine may be badly affected by use of other grease. Please be sure to let one of our service agents undertake replacement of the grease.
5.Check for Dust
Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner, for they may damage the plastics.
