To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or
when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
CLEANING
Periodically blowing dust and chips out of the motor housing using clean,
dry compressed air is a suggested maintenance procedure. To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, ALWAYS wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.
When cleaning, use only mild soap and a damp cloth on plastic parts.
Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage plastic. Also,
do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer, paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products
which may seriously damage plastic parts. NEVER let any liquid get inside the tool; NEVER
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making
good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

This tool has been lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. No further lubrication is necessary.
