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
• 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 tool 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
Lubrication
• Slightly lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals with a suitable spray lubricant with the
exception of the gearbox, which requires lithium based grease
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 Cover (8). The worn brushes can then be
withdrawn, and replaced with new.
• Always replace worn brushes in pairs.
• Refit the brush access cover.
• Alternatively, have the tool serviced at an authorised Silverline service centre
