MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the application tool
Continued use of a dull or damaged application tool
will result in reduced cutting effi ciency and may cause
overloading of the motor. Replace the application tool
with a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could

The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
