Lubrication
In horizontal applications:
• Adjust the fluid flow as required using the flow
regulator (22) (fig. D).
• Add more cutting fluid if the shavings become blue.
Vertical and overhead applications:
• Dip the cutter in cutting paste or apply an
appropriate spray.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
Maintenance
Your D
WALT power tool has been designed to
E
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Pop-off brushes
After 80 hours, the motor will be automatically shut
off indicating that the carbon brushes are nearly worn
out and that the tool needs servicing. The carbon
brushes are not user-serviceable. Take the tool to an
authorised D
WALT repair agent.
E
Lubricating the feed travel (fig. I)
The feed travel should be lubricated periodically with
grease to ensure smooth operation.
• Raise the motor unit to the highest position
possible.
• Lubricate the dove-tail guide way (33) at both sides.
• Lubricate the gear rack (34).
After repeated use, the cradle may become loose. If
necessary, adjust the 5 self-locking set screws at
the left side. Tighten screws in series until the cradle
moves freely in the slide but doesnot allow the motor
to wobble.
Cleaning
Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean
the housing with a soft cloth.
Unwanted tools and the environment
Take your tool to an authorized D
agent where it will be disposed of in an
environmentally safe way.
