HOLDING THE WOODWORKING
CHISEL
In handling alt turning tools, the handle hand takes a
natural position, being nearer or farther from the end
of the handle depending on the amount of leverage
required. The position of the tool rest hand should be
as illuslrated with turning tool held firmly against the
tool rest and fingers and thumb wrapped around the
turning tool on the opposite side of the tool rest, away
from the rotating workpiece.

WARNING: To avoid Injury from a thrown turning
tool, keep firm hand grip on the tool by wrapping
fingers and thumb around tool. Use both hands
spaced apart for proper leverage and control.
Keep your weight balanced on your feet. Do not rest
your weight on the turning tool or tool rest. Avoid awk-
ward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause
a hand Io move into the workpiece.

MOTOR MAINTENANCE
AND
LUBRICATION
1. The bearings, in both end shields of the motor,
have been lubricated at the factory with correct
lubricant. No other part of the motor requires
lubrication.
2, If disassembly of the motor is necessary, it should
be returned to
your nearest Sears retail or
mail-order store in order to prevent voiding the
guarantee,
NOTE: The speed of this motor cannot be regulated
or changed,
3_
Every effort should be made to prevent foreign ma-
terial from entering the motor. When operated
under conditions likely to permit accumulations of
dust, dirt, or waste within the motor, a visual inspec-
tion should be made at frequent intervals. Accumu-
lations of dry dust can usually
be blown out
successfully.
NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are
particularly susceptible to the accumulation of saw-
dust and wood chips and should be blown out or
"vacuumed" frequently to prevent interference with
normal motor ventilation.
