INTROD

DOUBLE INSULATION is a concept in safety, in elec-

tric power tools, which eliminates the need for the
usual three wire grounded power cord and grounded

supply system. Wherever there is electric current in
the tool there are two complete sets of insulation to

protect the user. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with pro-

tecting insulation.

Your sander is suitable for coarse, medium and fine

sanding of wood, metals, and plastics. It will pro-
duce a fine scratch free finish when used with or

against the grain and is designed for sanding flush
to corners.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

UCTION

IMPORTANT -- Servicing of a tool with double in-

sulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician. For service we suggest you

return the tool to your nearest Sears Store for repair.
Always use original factory replacement parts when

servicing.

The dual motion feature with which your sander is

equipped is ideal for any sanding operation where a

pad sander is required. Orbital motion is ideal for

fast cutting action when removing old finishes,

smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to re-

quired dimensions or for finishing surface to be

painted. Straight line is best for fine finish sanding

on work to be stained or varnished.

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL -- Read owner's manual carefully. Learn its ap-
plications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to

this tool.

2. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK BY PREVENTING BODY CONTACT
WITH.GROUNDED SURFACES. For example: Pipes, radiators, ranges, refrig-

erator enclosures.

3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tool in damp or wet

locations or expose to rain. Keep work area well lit.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work

area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.

7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, high or

locked-up place -- out of reach of children.

8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it

was designed.

9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy

duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended - for example - Don't use
a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to get caught in moving
parts. Rubber gloves and footwear are recommended when working outdoors.

Also, wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
