Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any
maintenance/cleaning.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly,
and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft
brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the
ventilation holes
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible
sparking
• If the brushes are worn and need replacing, have them replaced by an authorised
service centre if you are not capable of replacing them yourself
• Fully disconnect the tool from the mains, unscrew the Brush Access Cover Screws (16)
and remove the cover to access the carbon brushes
• Carefully replace both worn brushes with new brushes
NOTE: Carbon brushes are available from www.toolsparesonline.com.
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children

functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment
