MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identicat

Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause product
damage.

GENERAL

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.

Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various

types of commercial solvents and may be damaged

by №eir 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

acc^erated 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 №e 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 recom­

mended for an extension cord 25 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

cutting area and position the cord so that it will

not get caught on lumber, tools, ete., during

cutting operation.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each

use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use

tool wito a damaged cord since touching the
damaged area could cause electrical shock

resulting in serious injury.

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.
