grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable
chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.

any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

aluminum and brass. Use silicon carbide wheels for nonferrous metals.
17. When buffing material, always hold the material on the lower side of the buffing
wheel.
