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, dust, etc.
Do not use electric tools on fibrglass and other
abrasive materials as the abrasive material tends to
cause accelerated wear and possible premature
failure of bearings, brushes, commutator and other
parts. Consequently, this tool should not be used
for work on fibreglass or other abrasive materials.
■
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life
of the unit under normal operating conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
WARNING:
Do not at ant time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc
come into contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or even
destroy plastic.
■
