tended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.
All other parts represent an important part of the
double insulation system and should be serviced on-

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust,
etc.
When electric tools are used on fiberglass boat
sports cars, etc., it has been found that they are sut
ject to accelerated wear and possible prematut
failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings a_
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutato
etc. Consequently it is not recommended that th
tool be used for extended work on any fibergla_
material. During any use on fiberglass it is extremel
important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blov
ing with an air jet. ALWAYS WEAR SAFET
GLASSES, DUST MASK, OR EYESHIELDS BEFOR
BEGINNING POWER TOOL OPERATION OR BLOV
