CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, unplug the tool from the power source. For
safe and proper operation, always keep the tool and its ventilation slots clean.
Always use only a soft, dry cloth to clean your tool; never use detergent or alcohol.
Carbon brushes
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak efciency of the motor, we recommend every two to
six months the brushes be examined. Only genuine HAMMERHEAD replacement brushes
specially designed for your tool should be used.
Tool lubrication
Your tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools
with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.
Storage
Store the tool indoors in a place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive
agents.
EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING: If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors
that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will
prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use
3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTICE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
