GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which could result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE DRIVE GEAR COVER
See Figure 5, page 12.
If over time you notice the noise of the tool getting louder
than usual, check the condition of the drive gear cover. If
the cap is excessively damaged so that the metal gear is
clearly visible, remove it and replace.
NOTE: To reduce the noise level of the tool, do not operate
without the drive gear cover installed.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING
Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals with
heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to destroy or
disassemble battery pack or remove any of its compo-
nents. Lithium-ion and nickel-cadmium batteries must
be recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch
both terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as
short circuit may result. Keep away from children. Failure
to comply with these warnings could result in fire and/
or serious injury.
