MAINTENANCE
It has been found that electric tools are subjected to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure when they are used for cutting and grinding
metals. The grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric
tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it
is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any
metals. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that
the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing it out with an air jet.
CAUTION! Disconnect the power cord from the power supply before
any maintenance or cleaning. Do not use water or corrosive fluids to
clean electrical parts of the tool.
1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient,
easier to control and will prevent unnecessary problems.
2. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free from oil/grease at all times.
3. Follow instructions for changing accessories.
4. Inspect the tool fittings periodically. Have damaged or worn
components repaired or replaced by an authorized technician.
5. Inspect the tool fittings, alignment, power supply cord and
components periodically. Have damaged or worn components
repaired or replaced by an authorized technician.
6. Sharp tools are safer than dull tools. Applying excessive force while
using a dull tool can lead to slips and cause damage to your work
piece or personal injury.
7. Maintain the tool's label and name plate. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd.
for replacements.
8. Periodically check the carbon brushes and replace worn out brushes
(see Replacing Carbon Brushes).
9. Keep the vent passages clear of accumulated dirt, dust, and oil.
10. Clean the tool after each use.
