tool.
The working life and costs also depend on constant and meticulous
maintenance.
Take good care of your electrical tool and clean it regularly. In this way
its efficiency will be ensured and its lifespan extended.
- Remove dust and machining residuals with a brush with soft bristles.
- Do not wet or spray water over the electrical tool - risk of internal
infiltrations.
- Do not use any inflammables, detergents or solvents.
- The plastic parts can easily be damaged by chemical agents.
- Do not use compressed air for cleaning: Risk of material ejection!
- Be careful when cleaning the switch, motor fan slots, chuck, battery
and battery charger.
The tool does not require any special maintenance inasmuch as it is
lubricated with permanent grease inside. Any internal servicing must
only be performed by an authorised service centre.
CHUCK REPLACEMENT (Fig.D)
1) Open the chuck jaws completely.
2) Insert a screwdriver in the front part of the chuck until reaching
the safety screw.
3) Loosen the safety screw by turning it clockwise (left thread).
4) Position the friction on high torque (high number).
5) Now unlock the chuck with a sharp hit in an anti-clockwise direction
and unscrew it manually.
To assemble the new chuck, follow the previous operations in the
reverse order.
Carry out a trial run.
Clean the tool and all its accessories thoroughly (see Maintenance
section). Protect the unpainted parts with protective oil and use the
original packaging or case (where fitted) to protect it.
Keep the machine out of reach of children, in a stable and safe position.
The place must be dry, free from dust, temperate and protected from
direct sunlight.
Keep children and unauthorised personnel out of the storage room.
In order to protect the environment, proceed according to the local
laws in force. Contact the relevant authorities for more information.
When the machine is not longer useable or repairable, deliver the
machine and packaging to a recycling centre. Take out the batteries
(where fitted) and dispose of them separately.
Electric and electronic waste may contain substances that are dan-
gerous for the environment and for human health. For this reason they
must never be disposed of together with domestic waste, but collected
separately in specific collection centres or returned to the retailer when
similar new equipment has been purchased. The illegal disposal of
such equipment may result in prosecution to the full extent of the law.
Battery disposal: The batteries included in the equipment can be
disposed of along with it.
Do not throw the used batteries on the fire and do not dispose of them
in the environment, but take them to special disposal centres. Do not
dispose of them with domestic waste.
