KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. Remove buildup of grime resulting
from working with green or sappy wood. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.
NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the
material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good
contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
