4. Setup and Installation

This motor is a replacement part and requires installation into a compatible WORX 20V charging drill. Installation should only be performed by individuals with appropriate technical knowledge and experience in power tool repair.

Safety Precautions:

• Always disconnect the drill from its power source (remove the battery pack) before attempting any installation or maintenance.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves.
• Ensure your workspace is clean, well-lit, and free from obstructions.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area.

Installation Steps (General Guidance):

1. **Disassembly**: Carefully disassemble your WORX 20V charging drill according to its specific service manual or common power tool repair practices. This typically involves removing screws to open the casing.
2. **Motor Removal**: Disconnect the wiring from the old motor and carefully remove it from its housing. Note the orientation and connection points.
3. **New Motor Installation**:
   • Ensure the new WU172/WU179 motor aligns correctly with the gearbox and housing.
   • Connect the motor's electrical wires to the drill's internal wiring, ensuring correct polarity and secure connections.
   • Verify that the motor's gear meshes properly with the drill's internal gearing.
4. **Reassembly**: Carefully reassemble the drill casing, ensuring all wires are tucked away safely and no components are pinched. Secure all screws.
5. **Testing**: Reinsert the battery pack and perform a brief test run of the drill at a low speed to ensure proper function before full use.

Note: Specific disassembly and reassembly procedures may vary by drill model. Refer to your specific drill's service manual for detailed instructions.

5. Operating Instructions

As a component part, the WORX WU172/WU179 motor does not have standalone operating instructions. Its function is integrated into the WORX 20V charging drill. Please refer to the instruction manual provided with your specific WORX 20V charging drill for detailed operating procedures, safety guidelines, and usage recommendations.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of your motor and the drill it powers.

• **Cleaning**: Periodically clean the exterior of the drill to prevent dust and debris from entering the motor housing. Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
• **Inspection**: Regularly inspect the drill for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Pay attention to unusual noises or vibrations during operation, which could indicate motor issues.
• **Ventilation**: Ensure the drill's ventilation openings are clear to prevent overheating of the motor.
• **Storage**: Store the drill in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and humidity.

Note: Do not attempt to open the motor housing itself for maintenance, as this may void any warranty and could damage the internal components.

7. Troubleshooting

If your WORX 20V charging drill experiences issues after motor replacement, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• **No Power/Motor Not Spinning**:
  • Ensure the battery pack is fully charged and properly inserted.
  • Check all electrical connections to the motor for looseness or incorrect wiring.
  • Verify that the drill's trigger switch is functioning correctly.
• **Unusual Noise/Vibration**:
  • Re-check the motor's seating within the housing and its engagement with the gearbox. Misalignment can cause noise.
  • Inspect for any foreign objects inside the drill casing.
• **Overheating**:
  • Ensure ventilation ports are clear.
  • Avoid continuous heavy-duty operation without breaks.
• **Motor Runs, but Drill Doesn't Turn**:
  • This indicates a problem with the gearbox or clutch mechanism, not the motor itself.

If issues persist after troubleshooting, it is recommended to consult a qualified power tool repair technician or contact WORX customer support.
