MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 17, 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 at a
Sears Service Center.
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.
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: Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields during power tool opera­
tion or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
Sears store for repair. Always use original factory
replacement parts when servicing.
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 16 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.
CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the
drilling area and position the cord so that it will not
get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during drilling
operation.
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 result­
ing in serious injury.
Extension cords suitable for use with your drill are
available at your nearest Sears Retail Store.
