Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spack-
ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
®
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend
using this product for extended work on these types
of materials. However, if you do work with any of these
materials, it is extremely important to clean the product
using compressed air.
LUbRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a suf-
ficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
REPLACING THE NOSEPIECE PAD
The pad on the end of the nosepiece for wood will wear with
continued use. To replace the nosepiece:
Unplug the screwdriver. Remove the existing pad and clean
the nosepiece to remove all residue. Remove the adhesive
