WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other part may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
WARNING:
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.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
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, carbon dust, etc.

petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy
plastic.
