• 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,
and grease, etc.
• Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,

with side shields during power tool operation
or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty,
also wear a dust mask.
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing the
