GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
A
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic
which may result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds,
or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure because
the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to
bearings, brushes, commutators,
etc. Consequently, we
do not recommend using this product for extended work
on these types of materials. However, if you do work with
any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean
the product using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this product 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.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts
should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.
WARNING:
To ensure safety and reliability, all
repairs -- with the exception of the externally
accessible brushes -- should be performed by a
qualified service technician at a Sears store to avoid
risk of personal injury.
