 WARNING:

 Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields 

during power tool operations, or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also 
wear a dust mask.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible 

premature failure when they are used to work on fiber glass , wallboard, spackling 

compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly 

abrasive to electrical 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 compound 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:

  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 may result in serious personal injury.

Periodic maintenance allows for long life and trouble-free operation. A cleaning 

and  maintenance  schedule  should  be  maintained.    As  a  common  preventive 

maintenance practice, follow these recommended steps:

√ 

 When work has been completed, clean the tool to allow smooth functioning of 

the tool over time.

√ 

 Use clean damp cloths to wipe the tool.

√ 

 Check the state of all electrical cables.

√ 

 Keep the motor air openings free from oil, grease and sawdust or woodchips, 

and store tool in a dry place.

√ 

 Be certain that all moving parts are well lubricated, particularly after lengthy 

exposure to damp and/or dirty conditions.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-grade 

lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no 

further lubrication is required.

 WARNING:

 For your safety, always turn off switch and remove battery pack 

before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
