so could result in objects being thrown into your 

eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.

CAUTION

:

 

When  servicing

,

  use  only  identical  replacement 

parts.  Use  of  any  other  parts  could  create  a

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid  using  solvents  when  cleaning  plastic 

parts.  Most  plastics  are  susceptible  to  damage 

from  various types  of  commercial  solvents  and  may 

be  damaged  by their use. Use clean cloths to remove 

dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

WARNING

Do  not  at  any  time  let  brake  fluids,  gasoline, 

petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., 

come  in  contact  with  plastic  parts.  Chemicals 

can  damage,  weaken  or  destroy  plastic  which 

could result in serious personal injury.

ABRASIVE MATERIALS

Electric  tools  used  on  fiberglass  material,  wallboard, 

spackling  compounds,  or  plaster  are  subject  to 

accelerated wear and possible premature failure because 

the  fiberglass  chips  and  grindings  are  highly  abrasive  to 

bearings,  brushes,  commutators,  etc.  Consequently,  we 

do not recommended using this tool for extended work on 

these types of materials. However, if you do work with any 

of  these  materials,  it  is  extremely  important  to  clean 

the  tool  using  compressed  air.

  (Do  not  use  compressed 

air on aluminum chips, use a vacuum cleaner instead.)

LUBRICATION

Apply  a  thin  coat  of  oil  to  the  spindle  shaft  surfaces 

after  each  use  to prevent corrosion to the spindle. 

  

All  of  the  bearings  in  this  tool  are  lubricated  with  a 

sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the 

unit  under  normal  operating  conditions.  Therefore,  no 

further lubrication is required.

POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT

If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this 

must be done by an authorized service center in order to 

avoid a safety hazard.
