Craftsman 315.269210 - Manual (Page 18)

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
GENERÄL
Only the parts shown on the parts list, are intended to
be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other
parts represent an important part of the double
insulation system and should be serviced only by a
qualified Sears service technician.
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.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic.
It has been found that electric tools are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure when
they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The
chips and grindings from these materials are highly
abrasive to electric 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
compounds, or plaster. During any use on these
materials it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
CUTTERS
Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping
cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated
pitch and gum from cutters after each use.
When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of
the cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be
sure when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the
clearance angle the same as originally ground.
COLLET
Dust and chips may collect on the collet from time to
time, making it necessary to clean the collet. To do
so. remove the collet assembly and wipe it with a
clean dry rag. Clean the taper in the shaft in the same
manner. Never immerse the collet or end of the shaft
in a solvent or in water. Before replacing the collet
assembly, put a drop of SAE30 motor oil on the inside
of the nut, on the threads of the shaft, and on the
taper in the shaft. Replace the collet assembly onto
the shaft by hand only. Never tighten the collet nut
without a bit in the collet. This action could
permanently damage the collet.
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.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent
tool overheating, use an extension cord that is heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is
recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less
in length. When working outdoors, use an extension
cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord's jacket
will be marked WA.
A CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the
cutting area and position the cord so that it will
not get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during
cutting operation.
A WARNING: Check extension cords before each
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use
tool with a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock
resulting in serious injury.
Extension cords suitable for use with your router are
available at your nearest Sears Retail Store.
A
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.
