MAINTENANCE

To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before cleaning or servicing, before

installing and removing accessories, before adjusting and when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air.

For best performance use a shop vacuum or blower to keep saw blade area, the dust collection system, the guarding system and rails

free of saw dust and other debris.

For your own safety, turn the switch "OFF" and remove the plug from the outlet before adjusting or servicing your

sander.

To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, all repairs to electrical systems should be performed only by qualified

service technicians. The unit must be reassembled exactly to factory specifications. Repair or replace any damaged or worn cords

immediately.

Blow or vacuum frequently to remove dust that may accumulate inside the motor.

Lubrication: All tool bearings are self-lubricating. They require no further lubrication.

USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended accessories. The

use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
