It has been found that electric tools are sub-
ject to accelerated wear and possible prema-
ture failure when they are used to work on
fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and
grindings from these materials are highly abra-
sive to electrical tool parts. Consequently, it is
26
not recommended that this tool be used for ex-
tended work on any fiberglass material, wall-
board, spackling compound, or plaster. During
any use on these materials, it is extremely im-
portant 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 operations, or when blowing dust. If op-
eration is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Do not at any time allow brake
fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. come in contact with

tool to allow smooth functioning of the tool
over time.
