WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before cleaning or carrying out maintenance.

General inspection

• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be
carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies to extension cords
used with this tool
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cleaning
this tool.
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the device's service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not sufficient, a mild detergent
on a damp cloth is recommended
• Water must never come into contact with the tool
• Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it
• If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes (where
applicable)

Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible sparking
• To replace the brushes, remove the two Brush Access Covers (4) & (18). Remove the worn
brushes and ensure the sockets are clean. Carefully replace with new brushes and then replace
the Brush Access Covers
• After fitting run the router without load for 2-3 minutes to help the brushes bed in. The process
of the brushes fully bedding in may take repeated uses. Motor sparking may continue until new
carbon brushes have bedded in
• Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised service centre
