Why are there smoke and sparks coming from my new OF 1400?
A little smoke coming out from a new motor is normal as there can be some oil on the brushes, causing smoke with first few uses of the tool. The oil is part of the manufacturing process and will not cause damage to your tool.
Some sparks can also be seen when the brake is engaged, this can happen at any time, not only when the tool is new.
