REMOVE PRESSURE-SENSITIVE SANDPAPER BEFORE STORAGE
DO NOT store your sander with pressure-sensitive sandpaper still attached.
The heat generated by sanding causes the pressure-sensitive adhesive to
flow and form a tight bond between the cushion and the sandpaper.
ALWAYS remove the sandpaper soon after you have finished sanding to avoid
adhesive set up. When sandpaper is left on the cushion for an extended
period of time after use, the adhesive will set up and make the sandpaper
difficult to remove.
The sandpaper may tear when removing it. If this happens it makes it difficult
to clean the cushion for the next piece of sandpaper,
NOTE: If you do forget to remove the sandpaper after sanding, run your
sander for a few minutes to soften the adhesive backing before you try
to remove the sandpaper
GENERAL
Z_, WARNIN G:
To avoid accidents, ALWAYS disconnect the tool from
the power source BEFORE cleaning or performing any maintenance.
I Z_ WARNING:
When servicing a tool, ALWAYS use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a risk of electric
shock or injury and cause product damage,
All 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.
Z_ 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, spackling 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 plaster. During any use on these
materials, it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by
blowing with an air jet.
