When electric tools are used on fiberglass
boats, sports
cars, wallboard,
spackling
compounds,
or plaster, it has
been found that they are subject to accelerated
wear and
possible premature
failure, as the fiberglass
chips and
grindings
are highly
abrasive
to bearings,
brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently it is not recommended that
this tool be used for extended
work on any fiberglass
material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During
any use on these materials, it is extremely important 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 operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
PROPER
CARE OFCUTTERS
Get faster more accurate cutting results by keeping cutters
clean and sharp. Remove all accumulated
pitch and gum
from cutters after each use.
When sharpening
cutters, sharpen only the inside of the
cutting edge. Never grind the outside diameter.
Be sure
when sharpening the end of a cutter to grind the clearance
angle the same as originally ground.
PROPER
CARE OFCOLLET
From time to time, it also becomes necessary to clean your
collet and collet nut. To do so, simply remove collet nut from
collet and clean the dust and chips that have collected. Then
return collet nut to its original position.
