intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.

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 ctoths to remove dirt, carbon dust,
etc.
When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats,
sports cars. etc., it has been found that they are sub
ject to accelerated wear and possible premature
failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator,
etc. Consequently it is not recommended that this
tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass
material During any use on fiberglass it is extremely
important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blow
ing with an air jet. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOG-
GLES, SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS, OR
A DUST MASK DURING POWER TOOL OPERATION
OR WHEN BLOWING DUST.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord wgl cause some loss
of power To keep the loss to a minimum and to pre-
vent tool overheating, follow the recommended cord
sizes on the chart at right When tool is used ouP
doors, use only extension cords suitable for Outdoor

Sears Retail Stores.
LUBRICATION
