Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the mains power supply, before carrying out any
maintenance/cleaning of the charger. Remove the battery before carrying out any
maintenance/cleaning of the Multi-Tool.
Note: Both the Oscillating Multi-Tool and the charger contain no user-serviceable parts.
If the device does not perform as outlined in this manual, return it to an authorised
SILVERLINE service centre for repair.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs
should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies
to extension cords used with this tool
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
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol,
petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
