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
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.
Every
MILWAUKEE
tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leav-
ing our manufacturing facilities. Should any trouble develop, return the

shows the trouble is caused by defective workmanship or material, all
repairs will be made without charge, and the tool will be returned, trans-
portation prepaid. Battery packs for cordless tools are warranted for
one year from the date of purchase.

ACCESSORIES
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
