WARNING

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 equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make

sure your extension cord is in good condi­tion. Conductor size should be in accor­dance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace exten­sion cords if they become damaged.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT

wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may
get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.

11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also

use face or dust mask if cutting operation is
dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. ALLERGIES: Certain wood may cause an

allergic reaction in people or animals, especial­ly when exposed to fine dust. Make sure you
know what type of wood dust you will be
exposed to and wear proper respirators.

13. DO NOT OVER-REACH. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep

tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubri­cating and changing accessories.

Safety Instructions For Power Tools

15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

Consult the owner’s manual for recom­mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION­AL STARTING. On machines with magnet-

ic contact starting switches there is a risk of
starting if the machine is bumped or jarred.
Always disconnect from power source
before adjusting or servicing. Make sure
switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.

17. 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 function.
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 properly
repaired or replaced.

18. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT­TENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

19. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-

ness is required at all times when running a
machine.

20. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPER­ATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any

instructions you give in regards to machine
operation are approved, correct, safe, and
clearly understood.

21. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENC­ING DIFFICULTIES performing the intend-

ed operation, stop using the machine! Then
contact our service department or ask a
qualified expert how the operation should
be performed.

Amperage Draw

The Model G0529 1 HP motor is wired to operate
at 110V and will draw the following load:

Motor Load............................................10 Amps

Plug Type

The Model G0529 is supplied with a NEMA 5-15
plug. DO NOT modify the plug or power cord in
any way. See Figure 1 for a NEMA 5-15 plug and
grounded outlet.

Circuit Breaker Requirements

We recommend that the circuit you use your
machine on should be dedicated. Use the follow­ing guidelines when choosing a circuit breaker for
your machine (circuit breakers rated any higher
are not adequate to protect the circuit):

Recommended Circuit Breaker ..............15 Amp

Your Circuit Capacity

Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage load from your
machine. If you are unsure, consult a qualified
electrician.

If you operate this machine on any circuit that is
already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse
or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual
load does not exist and a power failure still
occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our
Service Department at [phone].

Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the assembly
process. DO NOT connect the machine to
the power source until instructed to do so.

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

G0529 Oscillating Spindle & Disc Sander -7-

Grounding

In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric cur­rent. This tool is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accor­dance with all local codes and ordinances.

110V Operation

If you find it necessary to use an extension cord
at 110V:

• Make sure the cord is rated Standard Service

(grade S) or better.

• The extension cord must also contain a

ground wire and plug pin.

• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50

feet long or less.

•DONOT use a cord longer that 100 feet!

Extension Cords

This machine must have a ground prong in
the plug to help ensure that it is grounded.
DO NOT remove ground prong from plug to
fit into a two-pronged outlet! If the plug will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correct­ly. Make sure all electri­cal circuits are ground­ed. DO NOT use the
machine if it is not
grounded.

No single list of electrical guidelines can
be comprehensive for all shop environ­ments. Operating this machinery may
require additional electrical upgrades spe­cific to your machine and shop environ­ment. It is your responsibility to make sure
your electrical systems comply with all
local electrical codes and ordinances.

NOTICE

The wire on the power cord with green or
green and yellow striped insulation is the
grounding conductor.
