Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect the device from the power supply before
carrying out any maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate
loose over time
• 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 machine 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
Lubrication
• Regularly apply a suitable lubricant between the roller and the blade
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 you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
authorised Silverline service centre
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of
children
