MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other part could create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply
with ANSI Z87.1 or equivalent standard. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes and other possible
serious injuries.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the battery pack
from the tool when cleaning, performing any maintenance, or
when storing the tool.
General Maintenance
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and can be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
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
could result in serious personal injury.
