destroy plastic.
It has been found that electric tools are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure when
they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The
chips and grindings from these materials are highly
abrasive to electric 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
compounds, or plaster. During any use on these
materials it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
,_ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during power tool
operation or when blowing dust. If operation is
dusty, also wear a dust mask.
PROPER CARE OF CU'I-rERS
Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping
cutters clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated
pitch and gum from cutters after each use.
When sharpening cutters, sharpen only the inside of
the cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter. Be
sure when sharpening the end of a cutter to gdnd the
clearance angle the same as originally ground.
PROPER CARE OF COLLET
From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean
your collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove
collet nut from collet and clean the dust and chips that
have collected. Then return collet nut to its original
position.
LUBRICATION
All of the beadngs in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore,
no further lubrication is required.
