■ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt and carbon dust.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be
performed by an authorised service centre.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Electrical tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass
chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, and commutators. We do not recommend using
the product for extended periods of time on these types
of materials.
WARNING
Do not use compressed air to blow dust from the product.
This practice is dangerous and can cause dirt and grit to
be blasted into someone’s eyes, causing injury.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in the product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life span of
the product under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Recycle raw materials instead of disposing
of as waste. The machine, accessories, and
packaging should be sorted for environment-
friendly recycling.
