GENERAL SAFETY RULES
USA002-2
(For All Tools)
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work A re a
1.
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci­dents.
2.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powe r
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distrac-
tions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
4.
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 insula-
tion eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
2
Page 3
5.
Avoid body contact with grounded sur­faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
6.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7.
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 immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
8.
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
9.
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 influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
10.
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.
11.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
12.
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.
13.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
14.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
Tool Use and Care
15.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
16.
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 designed.
17.
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.
18.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
19.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20.
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.
21.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool ser­viced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
22.
Use only accessories that are recom­mended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE
23.
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
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 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num­ber, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB046-3
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to sander safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running
over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
2.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting 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.
4
3.
Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4.
Check the backing pad carefully for cracks, damage or deformity before oper­ation. Replace cracked, damaged or deformed pad immediately.
5.
NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades or other sawblades. Such blades when used on a sander frequently kick and
Page 5
cause loss of control leading to personal injury.
6.
Hold the tool firmly.
7.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8.
Make sure the abrasive disc is not con­tacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9.
When sanding metal surfaces, watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that sparks fly away from you and other per­sons or flammable materials.
10.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
11.
Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
12.
Check that the workpiece is properly sup­ported.
13.
Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate after the tool is switched off.
14.
This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not use water on the workpiece sur­face.
15.
Ventilate your work area adequately when you perform sanding operations.
16.
Use of this tool to sand some products, paints and wood could expose user to dust containing hazardous substances. Use appropriate respiratory protection.

Sanding operation
CAUTION:
Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during operation.

Never run the tool without the abrasive disc. You may seriously damage the pad.
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then apply the abra­sive disc to the workpiece. In general, keep the abrasive disc at an angle of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface. Apply slight pressure only. Excessive pressure will result in poor performance and pre­mature wear to abrasive disc.

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 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.
