Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most

solventsand may be damaged by their use. Use clean
clothsto removedirt, carbon dust,etc.
When electdc tools are used on fiberglassboats, sports
cars, wallboard,spacklingcompounds,or plaster, it has
been found that they are subject to acceleratedwear and
possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and
grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutator, e tc. Consequently, i tis not recommended that
thistoolbe usedfor extendedworkon anyfiberglass material,
wallboard,spacklingcompounds,or plaster. During any
use on fiberglassit is extremely importantthat the tool is
cleanedfrequentlyby blowingwith an air jet.
