MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1.
Inspecting the driver bit
Using a broken bit or one with a worn out tip is dangerous because the bit
can slip. Replace it.
2.
Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly
tightened. Should any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately.
Failure to do so may result in serious hazard.
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.
Cleaning of the outside
When the impact driver is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth
moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint
thinner, as they melt plastics.
5.
Storage
Store the impact driver in a place in which the temperature is less than 40°C,
and out of reach of children.
6.
