Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any
inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear.
Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This
advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
GB
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to
wear quickly, and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of
your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry,
compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not
use alcohol, petrol or strong cleaning agents
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts
Note: Be especially careful to clean the machine thoroughly if used for both
wood and metal. Sparks from metalwork can easily ignite wood dust.
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray
lubricant
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or
visible sparking
• To replace the brushes, remove the Brush Access Panels (7) from both
sides of the machine. Remove the worn brushes and replaced with new.
Replace brush access plugs. Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an
authorised Silverline service centre
Note: One set of Spare Brushes is supplied with this tool.
Storage
