KEEP TOOL CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. 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 ANSI Z87.1 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.

For your continued safety and electrical protection, brush inspection and
replacement on this tool should ONLY be performed by an AUTHORIZED
