serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Clut-
tered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
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 risk of electric shock
if your body is grounded.
• Don't expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a 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 imme-
diately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• 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 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, Awrench 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 risk of 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. Learn 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 pads, binding
of moving pads, breakage of pads, mounting and
any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
• 1=WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, 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, and
• 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 masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center.
• Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before sanding.
• Drugs, Alcohol, Medication. Do not operate
tool while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
any medication.
• Save These Instructions. Refer to them fre-
quently and use them to instruct others who may
use this tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan
them these instructions also.
