MAINTENANCE
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and
grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commu-
tators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this
tool for extended work on these types of materials. However,
if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica-
tion is required.

TIGHTENING A LOOSE CHUCK

The chuck may become loose on the spindle and begin
to shake when using the drill. Also, the chuck screw may
become loose, causing the chuck jaws to bind and prevent
them from closing. To tighten the chuck:
n Unplug the hammer drill.

terclockwise.
n Insert a 5/16 in. or larger hex key into the chuck.
