1£ WARNING I
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known (to
the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples ofthese chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry
products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
.Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment such as those dust masksthat are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the tool,
use proper circuit protection.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
IA WARNING I
Read and understand all
instructJoos. Failure to follow all
IOStrucooos isted below may
result m electric shock, fire
and/or senous personal injury.
WORKAREA
Keep your work area clean and
well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gasses or
dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and
visitors away while operating
the tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are
equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a
polarized plug only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.
Double insulation eliminates the
need for the three wire grounded
power cord and grounded power
supply system.
Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is increased
risk of electric shock if your body
is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering the power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord to carry the tools
or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shoel
When operating a power tool
outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A"
or "W". These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the
risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool.
Do not use the tool while tired
or under the influence of drug!
alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result
in se~ous personal InJury.
Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry.

TOOL USE AND CARE
POWER TOOL SAFETY
PERSONAL SAFETY
Contain long hair. Keep your
hair. clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose
clothing. jewelry or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be
sure switch is OFF before
plugging in. Carrying tools with
your "l1lgeron the switch or
plLJggJngIn tools that have the

the tool may result in personal
injury
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of
the tool III unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat
or hearing protection must be
used for appropnate conditions.
Use clamps or other practical
way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the
correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the tool if the
switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug frOlT\the
power source before making
any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool

POWER TOOL SAFETY
TOOL USE AND CARE
Maintain tools with care. Keep
cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect
the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are
recommended bythe
manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable
for one toot may become
hazardous when used on another
tool.

backing pads can come off and
be violently thrown.
After ~hanging the sanding
discs, check to make sure
they are centered on the

Consequently, it IS not
recommended that this 1001 be
used for extended work on any
fiberglass matenal, wallboard,
spackling compounds or plaster
During any use on Ihese
materials it is exllemely
important that the 1001 is cleaned
frequently by blowing out with an
airjel.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
DO NOT use 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
cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
III WARNING I
Do not at any time allow brake
nuids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating
oils, etc. to come in contact
with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy
plastic.
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, bnushes, commutators,
etc.
III WARNING I
Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side
shields during all sanding
operations. It is critical that
you also wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side
shields and a dust mask while
blOwing dust out of the sander I
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 sander
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.
