CLEANING

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, dust, oil, grease, etc.

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.

Electric 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, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these 
types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool 
using compressed air after operation.
