MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
A w ARNING; To avoid accidents, ALWAYS disconnect the tool from the
power source BEFORE cleaning or performing any maintenance.
All parts represent an important part of the double insulation system and should be
sen/iced only at a Sears Sen/ice 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.
A WARNING: DO NOT at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils. etc. to come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
It is a known fact that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure when they are used to work on fiber glass boats and sports cars,
wallboard, speckling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from these
materials are highly abrasive to electrical tool parts, such as bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for
extended work on any fiber glass material, wallboard, spackling compound, or piaster.
During any use on these materials, it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned
frequently by blowing with an air jet.
A WARNING: ALWAYS wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
or face shield when blowing dust from tool when cleaning it. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
