It has been found that electric tools are
subjected to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure when they are used on
fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds or plaster. The chips
and grindings from these materials are highly
abrasive to electric tool parts such as
bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, it is not 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 the
accumulated debris out with an air jet.
WARNING:
Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during all cutting operations. It is
critical that you wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields and a
dust mask while blowing dust out of the
jigsaw with an air jet. Failure to take these
safety precautions could result in
permanent eye or lung damage.
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
conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
