WARNING:

On a regular basis, blow dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air. Never blow compressed air at greater than 10 PSI. Always wear goggles and dust mask when using compressed air.

Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. Use a

clean, dry rag only.
