• In Australia tools must be 240v power compliance.
• Purchasing tools overseas will void your tool‘s warranty in Australia.

Can I plug my tool into a generator?

• Yes you can.
• Ensure that the generators constant out put is at least 30% more than the power tool you are running off it
• If running more than one tool make sure combined tool wattage is less than the constant out put of the generator by at least 30%

Can power tools be purchased from other countries?

• Not recomended as the tool certification varies between different countries & in Australia tools require an Australian Compliance Approval number.

• Try to use a blow gun to blast any dust and fragments from the unit occasionaly.
• Regularly check the carbon brushes if your tool has brushes, there are now tools that run on brushless technology Carbon brushes are a component in all power tools that wear with use, and should be replaced when they wear down to a marked point
• Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time, and should be identical. Once they are replaced, run the tool with no load for 1 minute to ‘break in’ the brushes. Use accessories that are sharp & of a high quality grade to avoid extra load on tool.

• Let the tool do the work without extra force.

What’s that burning smell?

• If you encounter a burning smell when using a power tool of any sort, it means that the motor is being over loaded and is overheating. Specifically, the motor’s internal fan (air radiator) can’t cool the motor’s windings fast enough and their varnish coating begins to melt & burn. If you start to smell this ‘electrical burning smell’, withdraw the machine from the work but keep it running. This will enable the impeller fan to cool the motor’s windings.This smell is generally an indication that the tool isn’t being used correctly, or that it is attempting to perform a task that it isn’t capable of.
• If this does occur & performance of the tool has changed please ensure you get the tool to our inhouse service department to completely check before more damage is caused.

How can I ensure I don’t overload my power tool?

• Use the right tool for the job
• Using one or more pilot drills

• Some manufacturers/brands do not change their style of battery fitment & are reverse compatible between battery chemistries (eg a Li-ion battery may be able to be fitted to a NiCd tool). If this is the case with your cordless tool, ensure your charger can charge the both battery types of chemistry.

How long will a battery’s charge last?

• This will vary on many factors such as:the condition of the battery, the battery’s voltage & Amp Hour, speed ratings of the tool, the tool’s gearing, the application, the tools accessory and the efficiency of the cordless tool.
• A good test is when you buy a new tool to fully charge the battery & time how long it takes to fully drain, so in the future you will be able to compare condition of battery to your test results
