MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
O_y the parts shown on parts list, page 11, are intended to
be repaired or replaced by the customer. NI other pads
represent an important pad of the double insulation system
snd should he sew]ced only by a quatlrLedSears service
technician.
Avoid using solvanto when cleaning plastic pads. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use, Use clean
aloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, atc.
When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports
cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has
been found that they are su_ent to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure, as the fibergl_)ss chips and
grindlngs are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutator, etc. Co(lsequently, it is not recommended that
thistoal be used for extended work on any fiberglassmaterial,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. During any
use on fiberglass it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet
LUBRICATION
AHof the beadngs in this tool are lubricatedwith a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubriCation is required.
