Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

Make sure your extension cord is the proper size. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table on at right shows the correct size to use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace
or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This circuit must not be less
than 14 gauge wire and should be protected with either a 15A time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the power source, make sure the switch
is in the OFF position and the power source is the same as indicated on the nameplate.
Running at lower voltage will damage the motor.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W -A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the cord
so it will not get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while
you are working with the power tool.

NOTE: Hold the sander using the grip on top of the sander. Be careful NOT to cover
the motor cooling vents with your hand. Motor damage may occur from over heating
if the cooling vents are covered.
DO NOT FORCE THE SANDER. The weight of the sander usually provides adequate
pressure. Let the sander and the sandpaper do the work. Applying added pressure
will slow the motor, increase the wear on the sandpaper and greatly reduce the sander
speed. Motor damage may occur if excessive downward pressure is applied. It will also
