lubricating your belt / disc sander.

Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic
parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household

probability of damage.
To avoid shock or fire hazard, if the power cord is worn or
cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should be attempted
only by trained repairmen. Contact the nearest Sears
Service Center.
