4. Keep the motor air openings free from oil, grease and sawdust or woodchips,
and store tool in a dry place.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
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 boats and sports cars,
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:
To ensure safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance and
adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified service technician at a
Sears Service Center.
!
WARNING:
For your safety, ALWAYS turn off switch and unplug planer
from the power source before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
!
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.
