MAINTENANCE
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with compressed air. Remove buildup
of grime resulting from working with green or sappy woods. All plastic parts
should be cleaned with soft cloths. NOTE: Never use solvents to clean plastic
parts. Plastics can be easily damaged by such solvents.
CAUTION: Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug
are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open
circuit breakers in the line.
BRUSH INSPECTION AND LUBRICATION
At approximately 100 hours of use, take or send your tool to your nearest
Authorized Porter-Cable Service Station to be thoroughly cleaned and
inspected; worn parts replaced, when necessary; relubricated with fresh
lubricant, if required; reassembled with new brushes; and performance
tested.
Any loss of power before the above maintenance check may indicate the
need for immediate servicing of your tool. DO NOT CONTINUE TO OPERATE
TOOL UNDER THIS CONDITION. If proper operating voltage is present,
return your tool to the Service Station for immediate service.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS
All quality tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts due
to wear from normal use. These operations, including brush inspection and
replacement, should ONLY be performed by either an AUTHORIZED
PORTER-CABLE SERVICE STATION or a PORTER-CABLE SERVICE
CENTER. All repairs made by these agencies are fully guaranteed against
defective material and workmanship. We cannot guarantee repairs made or
attempted by anyone other than these agencies.
Should you have any questions about your tool, feel free to write us at any
time. In any communications, please give all information shown on the
nameplate of your tool (model number, type, serial number, etc.).
