ACCESSORIES

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug the tool before
attaching or removing
accessories. Use only specifically
recommended accessories.
Others may be hazardous.

Maintaining Tools

Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a
regular maintenance program. 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 mounting, broken
parts and any other condition that may af-
fect its safe operation. If abnormal noise
or vibration occurs, turn the tool off imme-
diately and have the problem corrected
before further use. Do not use a damaged
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:

Lubrication

Brush inspection and replacement

Mechanical inspection and cleaning
(gears, spindles, bearings, housing,
etc.)

Electrical inspection (switch, cord,
armature, etc.)

Testing to assure proper mechanical
and electrical operation

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury,
always unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance.
Never disassemble the tool or try
to do any rewiring on the tool's
electrical system. Contact a
MILWAUKEE
service facility for
ALL repairs.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the
tool, never immerse your tool in
liquid or allow a liquid to flow
inside the tool.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

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 clean-
ing agents and solvents are harmful to plas-
tics and other insulated parts. Some of
these include: gasoline, turpentine, lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household deter-
gents containing ammonia. Never use flam-
mable or combustible solvents around
tools.

factors in prolonging the useful life of this

more of the following:

Excessive arcing between brushes
and commutator

Inefficient or interrupted operation

Failure of the tool to start
