CLEANING
Periodically blowing dust and chips out of the motor housing using clean, dry
compressed air is a suggested maintenance procedure. To reduce the risk of serious per-
sonal injury, ALWAYS wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.
When cleaning, use only mild soap and a damp cloth on plastic parts. Many
household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage plastic. Also, do
not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer, paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products
which may seriously damage plastic parts. NEVER let any liquid get inside the tool; NEVER
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making
good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.
