I •
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 isnot 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.
