MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical Craftsman replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 11, are intended to
be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
represent an important part of the double insulation system
and should be serviced only by a qualified Sears service
technician.
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, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with
plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure when they are used on
fiberglass boats, 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 with
an air jet.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust.
If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power.
To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating,
use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the
current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for
an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. When working
outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor
use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord
since touching the damaged area could cause electrical
shock resulting in serious injury.
CAUTION:
Keep extension cords away from the sanding area and
position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, etc. during sanding operation.
LUBRICATION
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.
