MAINTENANCE
Service
WARNING
Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may
result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could
cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Skil Factory
Service Center or Authorized Skil Service Station.
Tool lubrication
Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools
with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.
Carbon brushes
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak efciency of the motor, we recommend every two to six
months the brushes be examined. Only genuine Skil replacement brushes specially designed
for your tool should be used.
Bearings
After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at every second brush change, the bearings should
be replaced at Skil Factory Service Center or Authorized Skil Service Station. Bearings which
become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be replaced at once
to avoid overheating or motor failure.
Cleaning
WARNING
To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply
before cleaning or performing any maintenance. The tool may be
cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when
cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not
attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
CAUTION
Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of
these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
