Introduction

The spindle assembly helps hold the blades and attachments of the tool in place and its rotation is key to the tool’s ability to oscillate back and forth. If you are having issues with loose blades, check that they’re attached properly by following these instructions.

If the tool is making unusual sounds, look at these trouble shooting guides. The issue could be with the tool’s needle bearing or spindle assembly.

If the power and motor are working properly but the rotation and oscillation of the tool are not working as they should, it could be due to a malfunctioning spindle assembly. You’ll need to follow this guide to replace it.

TIP: You will come across thick yellowish grease when dealing with these parts. The tool parts need this grease to function, so don’t clean it from the tool! Bring a rag or napkin to wipe your hands after you finish handling these parts.

Before beginning this guide, make sure the battery of the tool is taken off, you do not want any power source connected to the device while working on this replacement!
