Electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure
when they are used to work on fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials
are highly abrasive to electrical tool parts, such as bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used
for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compound,
or plaster. During any use on these materials, it is extremely important that the
tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
A_, WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operations, or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
