It has been found that electric tools are subject
to accelerated wear and possible premature fail-
ure when they are used to work on fiberglass
boats and sports cars, wallboard, spackling com-
pounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings from
these materials are highly abrasive to electrical
tool parts, such as bearings, brushes, commuta-
tors, etc.
Consequently, it is not recommended that this
tool be used for extended work on any fiber-
glass material, wallboard, spackling compound,
or plaster. During use on these materials, it is
extremely important that the tool is cleaned fre-
quently by blowing with an air jet.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during power-
tool operations, or when blowing dust. If opera-
tion is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake flu-
ids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, pen-
etrating oils, etc. come in contact with plastic
parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or de-
stroy plastic, which may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Periodic maintenance allows for long life and
trouble-free operation. A cleaning, lubrication
and maintenance schedule should be main-
tained. As a common preventive maintenance
practice, follow these recommended steps:
• When work has been completed, clean the
tool to allow smooth functioning of the tool
over time.
• Use clean, damp cloths to wipe the tool.
• Check the state of all electrical cables.
• Keep the motor’s air openings free from oil,
grease, and sawdust or wood chips, and store
the tool in a dry place.
• Be certain that all moving parts are well lu-
bricated, particularly after lengthy exposure to
damp and/or dirty conditions.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated
with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant
for the life of the tool under normal operating
conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
TROUBLESHOOTING
IF THE BLADE DOES NOT FOLLOW A STRAIGHT
LINE:
• Teeth are dull. This is caused by hitting a hard
object such as a nail, and dulling the teeth on
one side. The blade tends to cut to the side with
the sharpest teeth.
• Base is out of line or bent.
• Blade is bent.
• Edge guide or straight edge is not being used.
IF THE BLADE BINDS OR SMOKES FROM FRIC-
TION:
• Blade is dull.
• Blade is on backwards.
• Blade is bent.
• Workpiece is not properly supported.
• Incorrect blade is being used.
