Maintenance
ol
Tool
Cleaning
Blowing dust and grit out
oI
the motor housing using compressed air
is
a
necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust and grit containing
metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create
an electrical shock hazard
if not
frequently cleaned out.
CAUTION:
Never
use solvenls or other
harsh chemicals
for
cleaning
the non-metallic parts
of
the tool.
Use
clean, dry
rag
only.
Lubrication
DeWALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory
and
are ready for
use. Tools should
be
relubricated regularly every
sixÿ
days
to
six
months, depending on usage. (Tools used constantly on production
or
heavy-duÿ
iobs and tools exposed
to
heat may require more frequent
lubrication.)
This lubrication should only be
attempted
by
trained
power tool repairpersons.
