ELECTRICAL SAFETY
A WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminais of piug when
instaliing or removing the piug from the outiet.
2. Double insulation 0 eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double-insulated) tools.
This tooi is a double insulated tool.
A WARNING: Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
3. BEFORE plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the tool’s data plate. DO NOT use “AC only” rated tools with
a DC power supply.
4. AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
5. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in wet
or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
6. INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired at a Sears
Service Center. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep it well
away from moving parts.
7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or to puli the
plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and
overheating of tool. For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a least 14-gauge
is recommended for an extension cord of 25-ft. or less in length. Use 12-gauge for an
extension cord of 50-ft. Extension cords 100-ft. or longer are not recommended.
Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger number
(14-gauge wire has more capacity than 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge wire has more capacity
than 14-gauge). When in doubt use the smaller number. 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.
A\ CAUTION: Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other
obstructions while you are working with a power tool.
A. WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. if damaged replace
immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock, resulting in serious injury.

SAFETY RULES FOR POWER SANDERS
T HOLD TOOL by insulated gripping surfaces when sanding where tool may contact
hidden wiring, such as walls, floors, or its own power cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metals parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. INSPECT FOR AND REMOVE all nails, screws, staples or any embedded pieces
of metal from surface to be sanded. These protrusions could damage the sandpaper,
the cushion of the sander and cause loss of control. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury and damage to the sander.
3. NEVER use this or any power sander for wet sanding or liquid polishing.
Failure to follow this rule will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. ALWAYS clamp the workpiece secureiy so it will not move under the sander.
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator, causing injury.
5. DO NOT force the sander. The weight of the sander suppiies adequate
pressure. Let the sander and the grit on the sandpaper do the work.
6. DO NOT sand in any one place for too long. The sander’s rapid action may
remove too much materiai and make the surface uneven.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.
A WARNING: Some dust created by using power tools contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do
this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth,
eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure.
Direct particles away from face and body.
As. WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
(polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust box or elsewhere
and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty dust box frequently and strictly follow
sander manual and coating manufacturer’s instructions.
As CAUTION: When working on metal surfaces, DO NOT use the dust box
or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a
dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium
surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
SANDING PAINTS
SANDING LEAD BASED PAINT is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of
controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children
and pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical
analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
• NO children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the
paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.
• A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work
area. The filter should be replaced daily, or whenever (if) the wearer has
difficulty breathing.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS cont.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should
D6 usGQ. Ordinary painting masks do not offor this protoction. Sgg your local hardwaro
dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.
• NO EATING, DRINKING OR SMOKING should be done in the work area to
prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and
clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should NOT be left in the work area where contaminated dust would
settle on them.
• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting
of 4 mils thickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside
the work area.
• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily
for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed
frequently.
• Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust
chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles
and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up,
children and pregnant women should be KEPT AWAY from the immediate work
area.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.
