WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and disconnect tool from power source before
making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the
end cap and withdrawing the brush assembly. Keep brushes clean
and sliding freely in their guides. Always replace a used brush in the
same orientation in the holder as it was prior to removal. Carbon
brushes have varying symbols stamped into their sides, and if either
brush is worn down to the line closest to the spring, the brushes
must be replaced. Use only identical D
assemblies are available at your local service center. Always replace
the end cap after inspecting or servicing brushes. The tool should
be allowed to "run in" (run at no load without a blade) for 5 minutes
before use to seat new brushes.
While "running in" DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE LOCK THE
TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND ONLY.
