Hi:

Recently I bought a Porter-Cable Model 1100 with model 1101 base, at a house sale for $18.00! It came with a steel carrying case, a bunch of bits, and 4-5 various things like a steel guide.

Anyways it seems to run fine. The problem is twofold. First it was obviously never ever cleaned out. So I would love to be able to clean it up. Second is serious. The 10 foot power cable's insulation has become brittle over time and I need to totally replace the power cable before using anymore.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to open it up. I have systematically taken every bolt off that I can. It still does not come apart!

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rich
