2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, re-tighten them immediately. Failure to do
so could result in serious hazard.
3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 29)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon
brush can result in motor trouble, replace the carbon
brushes with new ones having the same carbon brush
No. shown in the figure 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.
4. Replacing a carbon brushes
Disassemble the brush cap with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.
5. 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.
6. Inspecting the lower guard for proper operation
Before each use of the tool, test the lower guard (Fig.
5) to assure that it is in good condition and that it
moves smoothly.
Never use the tool unless the lower guard operates
properly and it is in good mechanical condition.
7. Storage
After operation of the tool has been completed, check
that the following has been performed:
(1) Trigger switch is in OFF position,
(2) Power plug has been removed from the receptacle,
When the tool is not in use, keep it stored in a dry
place out of the reach of children.
8. Lubrication
Lubricate the following sliding surfaces once a month
to keep the power tool in good operating condition
for a long time.
Use of machine oil is recommended.
Oil supply points:
* Rotary portion of hinge
* Rotary portion of holder (A)
* Rotary portion of vise assembly
9. Cleaning
Periodically remove chips and other waste material
from the surface of the power tool with a damp, soapy
cloth. To avoid a malfunction of the motor, protect it
from contact with oil or water.
(Only Model C8FSHE)
If the laser line becomes invisible due to chips and the
like adhered onto the window of the laser marker's light-
emitting section, wipe and clean the window with a dry
cloth or a soft cloth moistened with soapy water, etc.
