Alpha Tool.Com.HK Limited Polisher AWP158 Maintenance Card User Manual

							Maintenance and Usage Tips for the Alpha® AWP-158
Be sure to inspect/test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) 
before operating the tool.
Carbon brushes should be checked periodically and replaced when 
necessary. In many cases, this simple maintenance procedure will 
avoid having to send the tool in for unnecessary repairs.
Do not leave the tool submersed in water. This could expose the inner 
moving parts to moisture, which will shorten the life of the tool.
Do not leave threaded accessories (backer pads, core drill bits, 
profi lers) on the spindle of tool for extended periods of time as this 
may result in making it diffi cult to remove these accessories.
If dust or dirt settles inside the motor, it may cause the polisher to 
malfunction.  After 50 hours of operation, run the motor in a no-load 
mode and blow dry air through the vents of motor body.  Make sure to 
wear safety protection when blowing air through tool.
When polishing, do not apply more force or pressure than the force 
created by the weight of the polisher itself (the polishing discs are 
designed to work properly under the light pressure).  Applying 
excessive force or pressure will decrease the rotation speed, which 
reduces the effi ciency of the polishing action.
During the use of Alpha
® Core Bits and Alpha®  Profi lers, use of the 
“C-Shape” handle is recommended.  The C-Shape handle will allow 
the operator to have better control and ease of operation during these 
applications.  Excessive force or impact to the spindle may result 
in premature failure of gears and/or bearings, which may not be 
immediately evident. •
