internal wires and components, which could cause serious hazard. Roto Zip Tool Corporation

department, toll free in the U.S. and Canada, at 1-877-768-6947, or 1-608-798-3737, Monday

Cleaning
To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry
air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not
attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that
contain ammonia.
Accessories
Use only Roto Zip Tool Corporation’s recommended tool models with this accessory.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors that is capable of
carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage
drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension cords that have
3-prong plugs and receptacles.

The location where you purchased your tool or accessory should carry Roto Zip Tool
Corporation’s full product line. If you are looking for a source, please call our Customer Service
