Table A: RECOMMENDED MINIMUM WIRE GAUGE
FOR EXTENSION CORDS
(120 VOLT)
NAMEPLATE
AMPERES
(at full load)
0 – 6 18 16 16 14
6.1 – 10 18 16 14 12
10.1 – 12 16 16 14 12
12.1 – 16 14 12 Do not use.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. 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. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip 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. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.

Grounding Instructions
SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
110-120 V~ Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs
1. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Do not modify the plug provided – if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment­grounding conductor to a live terminal.
4. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.
5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.
6. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

Sander Safety Warnings
1. For Your Own Safety Read Instruction Manual Before Operating Sander
2. Wear eye protection.
3. Support workpiece with miter gauge, backstop, or worktable.
4. Maintain 1/16 inch maximum clearance between table and sanding belt or disc.
5. Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with the directional arrows.
6. The backstop is a fence near the surface that helps the operator maintain control of the workpiece and prevents the workpiece from being pulled into the machine. For safety, it must be adjusted very close to the sanding surface.
Page 4 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Item 69033
7. The worktable is the surface mounted close to the sanding surface that the operator rests the workpiece against to prevent it from being pulled by the sanding surface. For safety, it must be adjusted very close to the sanding surface.
8. The sanding belt is designed to rotate down towards the table while the disc rotates both up from the table and down towards the table. Sand on the belt with the workpiece in front of the backstop and/or table. Sand only on the downward moving surface of the disc - sanding on the upward moving surface may result in the workpiece being thrown up and towards the operator.
9. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD DISABLED,
DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Moving guards must move freely and close instantly.
Sander Safety Warnings (cont.)
10. Before working with a metal workpiece, thoroughly clean the Sander and area around the Sander of wood or other non-metal dust and debris. Sparks from the metal surface could ignite debris and cause a fire.
11. The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in a risk of injury to persons.
12. Do not use this sander for wet/lubricated sanding.
13. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
14. Only use safety equipment that has been approved by an appropriate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breathing protection must be NIOSH-approved for the specific hazards in the work area.
15. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
16. Industrial applications must follow OSHA guidelines.

20. 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 and cement or 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. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
21. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
4. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
5. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
