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 outlet
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 refrigera-
tors. There is an increased riskof electdc shock
ifyour body is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entedng a power tool will increase the riskof 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 imme- diately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outalde, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electdc shock.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, 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
2 .
finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of 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 in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care :
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable plat- form. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force 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 de-
signed.
Do not use tool if 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 from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce riskof starting the tool accidentally.
Store Idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users,
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained 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 condi-
tion that may affect the tools operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model. Accesso- ries that may be suitable for one tool, may be-
come hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or mainte-
nance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow Instructions in Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Mainte- nance Instructions may create a risk of electric
shock or injury.
Specific Safety Rules for Sanders
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Never use this or any power sander for wet sanding or liquid polishing. Failure to comply can
result in electrical shock causing serious injury or
worse.
Keep hands away from sanding area. Additional Rules for Safe Operation
Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully. Leam its applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool.
Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eye-
glasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.
Don't abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or
yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
MAKE SURE YOUR EXTENSION CORD IS IN
GOOD CONDITION. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. A cord
exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

Inspect tool cords periodically and if dam-
aged, have repaired at your nearest Factory
Service Center or other Authorized Service Organization. Stay constantly aware of cord
location,
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended func- tion. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
