WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Craftsman replacement ports. Use of any other

part may create a hazard or cause product damage.

GENERAL

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating

oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.

It has been found that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as 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.

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.

EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating, usa an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw.

A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recom- mended for an extension cord 50 feet or less in length. When working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord'sjacket will be marked WA.

&CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the cuffing area and position the cord so that it will

not get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during cutting operation.

AWARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

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.
