Now is time to awaken your cordless drill equipment from its winter slumber. Before you pull your tools out of storage and put them to work, make sure you’ve prepared them for your spring workload. Today AussieBatt drill battery experts share the proper maintenance tips that will help get your equipment out of hibernation and ready to run.
- Always wear appropriate protective apparel when working with your cordless power tools.
- Check screws and nuts, and tighten them if necessary.
- Check power cords on cordless electric tools for damage or wear.
- Check air filters for dirt and damage to determine if any need cleaning or replacement. Clean debris from blowers and trimmers as well.
- Check the condition of your spark plugs and replace if necessary.
- Currently is a good time to adjust, sharpen or change saw chains, as well as replace your trimmer line.
- Inspect your power tool equipment for broken parts, and replace any that are broken or damaged.
- Before using a battery power tool, inspect the electrical contacts for damage. If any damage is found, contact your servicing Power Tools Battery Dealer. Do not continue using or charging a malfunctioning, damaged, cracked, or deformed Makita 6391D Tool Battery, cable or adapter.
- Don’t put your power tool to work immediately after a season of storage, let it warm up for a few minutes before use.
- When mixing fuel, make sure you are doing it properly by viewing our mixing tips. Use fresh fuel (stored for less than 2 months) with new 2-cycle engine oil.
