MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. 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. GENERAL MAINTENANCE 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, dust, oil, grease, etc. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air. 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. APPLICATION AND BUFFING BONNETS Both the application and buffing bonnets are reusable. For maximum life and performance, hand wash after use and allow them to air dry. If needed, the bonnets can be machine washed in cold water with a small amount of detergent, then machine dried using low heat. FOAM PAD It is important that the pad retains its original shape and dimensions. Allow it to dry completely after each use. Make sure to remove the bonnets, wash them, and store separately. Polisher should be stored with the pad facing up in order to extend pad life and retain its shape. Be careful not to use too much polish at one time. If the pad becomes saturated, it will not last as long. MOTOR AND INTERNAL COMPONENTS The motor and internal components are designed to be maintenance free. The exterior surface can be cleaned with a mild soap and damp sponge. If you suspect a problem with the motor or other internal components, do not attempt to remove the motor housing or otherwise expose the internal components.
