When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats,
sports cars, etc., it has been found that they are sub-
ject to accelerated wear and possible premature
failure, as the fiberglass chips and grinc!lngs are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators,
etc. Consequently it is not recommended that this
tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass
material. During any use on fiberglass it is extremely
important that the tool Is cleaned frequently byblow-
Ing with an air jet. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY
GLASSES OR EYESHIELDS BEFORE BEGINNING
THIS OPERATION.
