MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Any maintenance must be
carried out with the machine switched off
and disconnected from the mains/battery
power supply.
Check that all safety features and guards are
operating correctly on a regular basis.
Only use this machine if all guards/safety
features are fully operational.
All motor bearings in this machine are lubricated
for life. No further lubrication is required.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean
the plastic parts of the machine. Do not use
solvents or similar products which could
damage the plastic parts.
WARNING: Do not attempt to clean by
inserting pointed objects through openings in
the machines casings, etc.
The machines air vents should be cleaned
using compressed dry air.
Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of
dirt in the motor or worn out carbon brushes.

BRUSH CHECKING AND/OR REPLACEMENT
• Disconnect the machine from the power
supply.
• Place the machine on a level, secure surface.
• Unscrew and remove the two (2) brush
retaining cap screws from the motor housing.
• Withdraw the brushes.
Note: If the carbon brush is less than ¼" long,
or if there are signs of burning or damage to
the carbon or the spring, replace the brushes.
• Fit the new brushes.
• Refit the brush retaining cap screws.
• Run the machine without load for several
minutes after brush replacement. This will
aid the 'bedding in' process.
Note: If, upon checking, the brushes are found
to be still serviceable, they can be returned to
their original position. It is important that they
are replaced in the same position as they were
removed from the machine.
