MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. The use of any other part may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
DO NOT
use solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
WARNING:
DO NOT allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils,
etc. to come into contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic.
DO NOT
abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage the tool and the workpiece.
WARNING:
DO NOT attempt to modify tools or create accessories. Any such alteration or
modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious
injury. It will also void the warranty.
It has been found that electric tools are subjected to accelerated wear and possible premature
failure when they are used on fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds
or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts
such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this
tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds
or plaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned
frequently by blowing it out with an air jet.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during all sanding
operations. It is critical that you also wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and
a dust mask while blowing dust out of the sander with an air jet. Failure to take these safety
precautions could result in permanent eye or lung damage.
LUBRICATION
All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the
life of the unit under normal conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
