gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant

The brushes and commutator in your tool have
been engineered for many hours of dependable
service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor,
we recommend every two to six months the
brush es be examined. Only genuine Skil replace -

After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at
every second brush change, the bearings should

Bearings which become noisy (due to heavy load
or very abrasive material cut ting) should be
replaced at once to avoid overheating or motor
failure.
