Lubrication
All bearings are packed with grease at the factory and require no further lubrication. After use, remove all
swarf from the machine and thoroughly clean all surfaces. Components should be dry, with machined
surfaces lightly oiled. Always remove drill bits, and store in a safe place.
ACCESSORIES
USE ONLY ACCESSORIES THAT ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER FOR YOUR MODEL.
ACCESSORIES THAT MAY BE SUITABLE FOR ONE TOOL MAY BECOME HAZARDOUS WHEN USED ON
ANOTHER TOOL.
ALWAYS ATTACH GROUNDED (3-PRONG) EXTENSION CORDS TO GROUNDED
(3-PRONG) OUTLETS.
IF YOU MUST USE AN EXTENSION CORD, BE SURE THAT THE GAUGE IS LARGE ENOUGH TO CARRY
THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT NECESSARY FOR YOUR POWER TOOL.
IF NOT, YOUR TOOL MAY
EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF POWER, EXCESSIVE VOLTAGE DROP OR OVERHEATING. FOR EXAMPLE,
THE SMALLER THE GAUGE NUMBER, THE HEAVIER THE CORD.
