CAUTION: Pull out battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.
1. Checking the condition of the bit
The bits should be checked regularly. If worn or
broken bits can slip or decrease the effi ciency of the
motor and burn it out.
Replace worn bits with new ones.
CAUTION
If you use a driver bit of which point is worn or
broken, it will be dangerous since it slips. So
replace it with a new one.
2. Check the Screws
Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them
and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosened, screws is
extremely dangerous.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 18)

consumable parts. Since and excessively worn
carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace the
carbon brush with new ones when it becomes worn
to or near the "wear limit". In addition, always keep
carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide
freely within the brush holders.

sure to use the metabo HPT Carbon Brush Code No.
