Clean after every use
Dust and debris are a power tool's biggest enemy — they clog vents and wear down the motor. After each use, wipe the tool down and blow or brush dust out of the air vents. This simple habit greatly extends motor life.
Keep the vents clear
The cooling vents prevent the motor from overheating. Never block them while working, and keep them free of dust build-up. An overheating motor is the fastest way to kill a power tool.
Care for the cords and batteries
- Corded: check the cable for cuts or fraying before each use; never carry the tool by its cord.
- Cordless: store batteries charged, in a cool, dry place — not in extreme heat, and not fully drained for long periods.
Keep moving parts lubricated
Follow the manual on lubrication for gears and moving parts. Proper lubrication reduces wear and keeps the tool running smoothly.
Replace worn parts
Carbon brushes, bits, and discs wear out. Replace them on time with genuine spares — worn brushes can damage the motor, and dull bits strain the tool and ruin your work.
Prevent rust in the monsoon
Humidity causes rust on metal parts. Store tools in a dry place, use silica gel packs in tool boxes, and wipe metal surfaces with a light oil before long storage during the rains.
Store them properly
Keep tools in their cases or on a pegboard, away from dust and moisture. Organised, protected storage keeps them safe and ready to use.
