document, refer to it often, and use it to instruct other operators.
Failure to read, understand and follow the instructions in this manual
may result in fire or serious personal injury—including amputation,
electrocution, or death.
The owner of this machine/tool is solely responsible for its safe use.
This responsibility includes but is not limited to proper installation in
a safe environment, personnel training and usage authorization,
proper inspection and maintenance, manual availability and compre-
hension, application of safety devices, cutting/sanding/grinding tool
integrity, and the usage of personal protective equipment.
The manufacturer will not be held liable for injury or property
damage from negligence, improper training, machine modifications or
misuse.
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 of these 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 equip-
ment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.

may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain
types of
malfunctionsor breakdowns, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current
to travel—in
order
to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire
will
increase
the risk of electric shock. The wire with green
insulation
(with/without yellow stripes)is the equipment-
grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the power
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-
grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel
if
you do not understand these grounding requirements,
or if
you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded.
If you ever notice that a cord or
plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and
immediately replace it with a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord with
this machine. Extension cords cause voltage drop, which
may damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases with longer extension cords
and smaller gauge sizes (higher gauge numbers indicate
smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must contain a
ground wire, match the required
plug and receptacle, and
meet the following requirements:

The voltage conversion MUST be performed by an
electrician or qualified service personnel.
The voltage conversion procedure consists of rewiring the
motor and installing the correct plug. A wiring diagram is
provided on Page 35 for your reference.
IMPORTANT: If the diagram included on the motor
conflicts with the one on Page 35, the motor may have
changed since the manual was printed. Use the diagram
included on the motor instead.

The following is a list of items shipped with your machine.
Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory
them.
Note:
If you cannot find an item on this list, carefully
check around/inside the machine and packaging materials.
Often, these items get lost in packaging materials while
unpacking or they are pre-installed at the factory.

SETUP
To prevent
corrosion during shipment and storage of your
machine, the factory has coated t
he bare metal surfaces
of your machine
with a heavy-duty rust prevention
compound
.
I
f you are unprepared or impatient, this compound can
be difficult to
remove. To ensure that the removal of this
coating is as easy as possible, please gather the correct
cleaner, lubricant, and tools listed below:
• Cleaner/degreaser
designed to remove storage wax
and grease
• Safety glasses & disposable gloves
•
Solvent brush or paint brush
• Disposable Rags


Put on safety glasses and disposable gloves.

Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of
cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

Wipe off surfaces. If your cleaner/degreaser is
effective, the coating will wipe off easily.
 An easier way to clean off thick coats of rust
preventative from flat surfaces is to use a PLASTIC
paint scraper to scrape off the majority of the
coating before wiping it off with your rag. (Do
not use a metal scraper or you may scratch your
machine.)

Repeat cleaning steps as necessary until all of the
compound is removed.

To prevent rust on freshly cleaned surfaces,
immediately coat with a quality metal protectant.

operated is important for safe operation and the
longevity of its components. For best results,
operate this machine in a dry environment

of machinery are generally those where the
ambient temperature range exceeds 41°–104°F;
the relative humidity range exceeds 20–95%
