Maintenance
Service
!WARNING Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Skil Factory Service Center or Autho- rized Skil Service Station.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every two to six months the brushes be examined. Only genuine Skil replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
Certain cleaning agents ! CAUTION and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
Accessories
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors that is capable of
carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
