SAFETY
Hypot Testing
Each 8800ES series tool that is serviced must be
Hypot tested before being shipped back to the
customer. If you do not have this equipment you
can not service this tool.
Hypot testing is a safety test required by Underwriters
Laboratories. It basically ensures that there are no live
metal parts exposed on the product. This condition could
occur if for instance:
1. A housing screw went through a wire.
2. A wire was stripped back too far and the bare wire
contacted a bearing or the driveshaft.
3. A wire was damaged and came into contact with a
bearing or the driveshaft.
This is a very serious safety issue so please take care to
test the tool as specified below.
The tool is to be Hypot tested at 3000 VAC for 1
second between:
A. Both power cord prongs and the chuck with the
power switch in the ON position.
B. Between the power cord prongs and all of the
housing screws with the power switch in the ON
position.
The maximum allowable current is 0.5mA.
REPAIR
The following are specific instructions for repairing the
8800ES drill. For a list of available service parts and an
exploded-view product drawing please refer to the last
page of this manual.
These repair instructions start with the very basic repairs
such as replacing a chuck and progress to the more
complicated such as replacing a housing. They are done
this way so all of the information does not have to be
repeated. For this reason you may want to read the entire
instruction before proceeding with one of the more compli-
cated repairs.
CHUCK REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Open chuck jaws to maximum capacity.
2. Remove retaining screw on tool by turning it in a
clockwise direction (screw has a le t-hand thread).
3. Insert the shorter end o a 1/4 or greater hex key into
chuck and tighten.
4. Place tool on its side and hold irmly.
5. Using a wooden mallet strike the longer end in the
clockwise direction.
Installation
1. Screw the chuck on by hand as ar as it will go.
2. Insert screw (le t-hand thread), and tighten screw se-
curely.
3. Tighten the chuck around the shorter end o a 1/4 or
larger hex key, then strike the longer end in the clockwise
direction with a wooden mallet while holding down the tool
securely.
4. Tighten the screw once again by turning in a counterclock-
wise direction.
BRUSH REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Remove brush cap using a flat-head screwdriver.
2. Remove brush assembly from the brush holder.
Installation
1. Installation is the reverse of the removal instruction
above.
GEARBOX REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
Currently the gearbox components are not individually
available and in the event of a failure the entire gearbox
must be replaced.
The procedure for removing / installing the gearbox is as
follows:
Removal
1. Remove the chuck as described above.
2. Remove the brush caps and take out the brushes.
The brushes should always be removed before
disassembling the housing.
3. Remove the (8) housing screws and remove the right
housing half. While removing the right housing half
disconnect the yellow brush lead from the brush
holder. This can usually be disconnected with your
fingers. If not a needle-nose pliers will suffice.
4. Remove the chuck shroud.
5. Lift up the gearbox so that the motor assembly tips
upward. Once the gearbox is above the left housing
half pull it away from the motor so the input shaft
pulls out of the motor coupling.
Installation
1. Remove the armature while leaving the field in place.
In order to remove the armature you will have to tip
up the field so that the fan clears the housing.
2. Ensure that there is grease in the motor coupling and
that the o-ring is in place in the end of the coupling. If
grease must be added a light film of any moly based
grease will be adequate.

3. Insert the gearbox into the coupling assembly.
4. Tip up the field and slide the gearbox/armature
assembly into location.
5. Reseat the field and make sure the armature spins
freely.
6. Remainder of assembly is the reverse of the removal
procedure above.
MOTOR COUPLING REMOVAL / INSTALLA-
TION
Removal
1. Remove the chuck as described above.
2. Remove the top housing half and gearbox as de-
scribed above.
3. Remove the armature from the tool as described
above.
4. The coupling is press fit onto the knurled end of the
motor shaft. Remove the coupling using an arbor
press or other suitable press. With the armature
pointed upward the coupling should be held from the
bottom side and the armature pressed down.
Installation
1. Install a light film of moly based grease to the inside
of the coupling  both in the large and small diameter
bores.
2. Remainder of the installation is the reverse of the
removal instruction above.
NOTE: It is very important that the coupling be lined up
properly during installation. Failure to install the
coupling straight will result in tool vibration.
MOTOR REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Remove the chuck as described above.
2. Remove the top housing half and gearbox as de-
scribed above.
3. Remove the armature from the tool.
4. Disconnect the black and white lead wires from the
field and remove it. The thicker black jumper wire
should not be disconnected
NOTE: During disassembly take note of wire routing so
the wires can be routed the same way upon reassembly.
Also take note of the way the two dowel pins on the fan
end of the field engage the lower housing.
Installation
1. Installation is the reverse of the removal instruction
above.
SWITCH REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Remove the chuck as described above.
2. Remove the top housing half as described above.
3. Remove the reversing shuttle from the top of the
switch.
4. Disconnect the 4 leads from the reversing module
(top portion) of the switch. These should slide straight
up and disengage.
5. Loosen the two Phillips head machine screws on the
side of the switch and remove the power cord wires.
6. The red brush wire installed in the bottom of the
switch can be removed by pushing a small diameter
pin in the wire opening. This will open the wire trap
and the wire can be pulled out.
NOTE: Again take note of the wire routing before disas-
sembly so they can be properly routed upon reassembly.
Installation
1. Installation is the reverse of the removal instruction
above.
CAUTION: It is extremely important that the wires that
terminate in the reversing module of the switch be properly
installed. When properly installed the top of the terminals
will be about flush with the top of the switch. Proper
installation ensures adequate spacing between the switch
terminals which are live and the gearbox which is metal
and has a conductive path to the chuck. Ensure that the
spacing between the switch terminals and gearbox is
adequate before reassembling the top housing half.
Improper Sw tch W re Assembly
Terminals may not extend
beyond the top sur ace o
the switch. 100% inspect to see that the
terminal is pushed down all the
way and that there are no
excessive lumps o solder.
When properly installed, the terminals on the switch wires are
llush with the top o the switch as shown in the pictures above.
Proper Sw tch W re Assembly
100% inspect or proper connection.

HOUSING REPLACEMENT
Removal
1. Remove the chuck as described above.
2. Remove the top housing half and gearbox as de-
scribed above.
3. Remove the armature from the tool.
4. Remove the field as described above
5. Remove the switch as described above.
6. Remove the power cord from the tool. It should just
pull out of the wire channel.
7. Disconnect the red brush lead from the brush holder
in the left housing half and remove the switch wiring
harness. Like the power cord this should pull right
out.
8. Press the brush holders out of each housing half.
Installation
1. Install a service warning label on the new housing.
The service warning label is only partially laminated.
Half of the label has a backing on the lamination that
can be peeled off allowing the technician to write on
the label and finish laminating it him/herself. Record
the tool serial number with a pen on the label peel the
backing off of the lamination and laminate the
service warning label.
2. Install new decorative and brand labels if desired.
3. The remainder of assembly is the reverse of the
removal instruction above.
WIRE ROUTING / REPLACEMENT
As noted in the above sections it is very important to note
the routing of the wires before disassembly. They must be
routed exactly the same way upon assembly. Some
additional detail on proper wiring follows.
It is very easy to pinch a wire when reassembling a tool if
care is not given to wire routing. Take note of which ribs
contact the switch and field and where wires must be
routed to clear them. The bundle of 4 switch wires must be
placed with 2 of the wires in each of the 2 wire slots
provided as the wires pass under the motor coupling.
One of the wires from the power cord must be placed in on
top of each bundle of switch wires and pressed firmly into
place. This will hold the wires down and away from the
motor coupling.
As an aid to reassembly, take note of wire routing
and position in wire guides and traps while dis-
mantling tool.
White wire #5 is to be routed around the lower brush boss
between the boss and the field.
Yellow wire #7 must pass under the power cord wire and
exit between the cord strain relief and the screw boss. This
allows enough slack to attach the wire to the upper brush
holder while lowering the housing.

When tightening the housing screws if you do not have a
tool with which you can limit the tightening torque they
should be tightened by hand to prevent stripping. If a screw
hole is stripped the tool housing must be replaced.
PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS
An acceptable tool is expected to perform as follows:
NOTE: Tool may run slower than above after installation of
new brushes. It takes about 10 minutes of run time to fully
seat new brushes.
