MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

CAUTION: Pull out battery before doing any inspection or maintenance.
1. Inspecting the drill bits
Since use of a dull tool will cause motor malfunctioning
and degraded effi ciency, replace the drill bit with a
new one or resharpening without delay when abrasion
is noted.
2. Check the Screws
Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect them
and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosened, screws is
extremely dangerous.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 20)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since and excessively worn
carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace the
carbon brush with new ones when it becomes worn
to or near the "wear limit". In addition, always keep
carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide
freely within the brush holders.
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one, be
sure to use the metabo HPT Carbon Brush Code No.

● Be absolutely sure to insert the nail of the carbon
brush into the contact portion outside the brush
tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two
