switch is in the center lock position, wait for all
moving parts to stop, and disconnect from the
power supply. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, serious personal injury, or

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,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this
must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.

If over time you notice the noise of the tool getting louder
than usual, check the condition of the drive gear cover. If the
cap is excessively damaged so that the metal gear is clearly
visible, remove it and replace with the spare cap included.

without the drive gear cover installed.
