possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,

fiberglass material, During any use on fiberglass it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned fre-
quently by blowing with an air jet. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR EYE SHIELDS BEFORE BEGIN.
