regularly inspected for wear. To inspect brushes, unscrew the plastic brush inspection
caps (located in the sides of the motor housing) so the spring and brush assemblies
may be withdrawn from the tool. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides.
Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped into them, and if the brushes are
worn down to the line closest to the spring, they must be replaced.

effort or unnecessary pressure. The side handle can be easily changed to either
side of the tool for left-handed or right-handed operation.
NOTE: The high speed rubbing action of the polishing bonnet upon the surface of
an automobile can build a static charge on the metal portions of this tool. This can
result in a sensation of a very short mild electric shock when the metal area of the
tool is touched, and will be more noticeable on days when the humidity is low. This
is a harmless phenomenon but you are invited to bring the tool to a DEWALT service
center where it can be checked to assure that no electrical malfunction is present.

a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear AS/NZS51337 approved eye

these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid

should be relubricated regularly every sixty days to six months, depending on usage.

trained power tool repairpersons such as those at DEWALT service centers or other
authorized service locations.
