WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic.
When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats,
sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or
plaster, it has been found that they are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as
the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive
to 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.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings 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.
PROPER
CARE
OF CUTTERS
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 grind the
clearance angle the same as originally ground.
PROPER
CARE OF COLLET
From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean
your coltet 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.
