lubricated at the factory with correct lubricant. No other
part of the motor requires lubrication.
2. Re-lubricate
motor
bearings
in accordance with the
instructions on the nameplate, Be sure to wipe off dirt or
grit if present around
oil hole caps to prevent any'
possibility of foreign material contaminating
the oil

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.
4. Every effort should be made to prevent foreign material
from entering the motor, When operated under condi-
tions
likely to permit accumulations
of dust, dirt, or
waste within the motor, a visual inspection should be
made at frequent intervals. Accumulations
of dry dust
can usually be blown out successfully.
NOTE: Motors used on wood-working tools are particu-
larly susceptible to the accumulation
of sawdust and
wood chips and should be blown out or "vacuumed"
frequently
to prevent interference with normal motor
ventilation
and proper operation of the centrifugally.
