MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
CAUTION
Be sure to turned off the switch and remove the
battery before maintenance and inspection.
1. Inspecting the blade
Continued use of a dull or damaged blade will
result in reduced cutting efficiency and may cause
overloading of the motor. Replace the blade with
a new one as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
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 could 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. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 31)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since and excessively worn
carbon brush can result in motor trouble, replace
the carbon brush with new ones when it becomes
worn to or near the "wear limit". In addition, always
keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they
slide freely within the brush holders.
NOTE
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one,
be sure to use the Hitachi Carbon Brush Code No.
999058.
