Maintaining Tools
Keep your tool in good repair by adopting a regular maintenance pro-
gram. Before use, examine the general condition of your tool. Inspect
guards, switches, tool cord set and extension cord for damage. Check
for loose screws, misalignment, binding of moving parts, improper mount-
ing, broken parts and any other condition that may affect its safe opera-
tion. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the tool off immediately
and have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use a dam-
aged tool. Tag damaged tools “DO NOT USE” until repaired
(see “Repairs”).
Under normal conditions, relubrication is not necessary until the motor
brushes need to be replaced. After six months to one year, depending on
use, return your tool to the nearest MILWAUKEE service facility for the
following:
• Lubrication
• Brush inspection and replacement
• Mechanical inspection and cleaning (gears, spindles, bearings,
housing, etc.)
• Electrical inspection (switch, cord, armature, etc.)
• Testing to assure proper mechanical and electrical operation
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and
free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean your
tool since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics
and other insulated parts. Some of these include: gasoline, turpentine,
lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia
and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
Repairs
If your tool is damaged, return the entire tool to the nearest service
center.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug your tool before
performing any maintenance. Never disassemble the tool or
try to do any rewiring on the tool's electrical system. Contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for ALL repairs.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, electric shock and damage to the
tool, never immerse your tool in liquid or allow a liquid to flow
inside the tool.
ACCESSORIES
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug the tool before
attaching or removing accessories. Use only specifically
recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.
