When using this electric floor sander, basic precautions should always be followed,including the following:
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electrical current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This
floor sander is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, DO NOT connect
the grounded wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
DANGER:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the equipment. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Disconnect wall plug before leaving floor sander unattended to prevent accidental startup.
DO NOT operate this sander without brush or pad driver and pad in place.Never attempt to lock
pad driver on floor sander by positioning (JUMPING) running floor sander on unattached pad driver.
DO NOT leave a plugged in floor sander unattended.
CAUTION:
This floor sander is designed to move
from side to side. Raise handle slightly
to guide right.As handle is raised higher, the faster it will move to the right.
Lower the handle to guide left.
Likewise, the more you lower handle,
the faster it will move to the left.
Plug in the power cable.With pad driver in position, adjust handle and lock
into a comfortable operating position.
Place hands on handle grips and
squeeze trigger locks beneath grips.
This will activate the motor and start
pad driver operating.
Begin operating this floor sander at
the closet possible point to an electrical outlet and work away from the outlet. This will prevent running over the
electrical cord.
1) Unplug power cable and LOCK
handle in upright position.
2) Tilt the floor sander back until the
handle is laying on the floor and
underside of the machine is fully
exposed.
3) Holding the pad driver in both
hands straddling the motor with your
back to the handle, bend over and fit
the three slots of the clutch plate over
the three lugs of the drive plate.
4) Turn the pad driver counterclockwise as far as it will go.It is now seated
and ready for operation.
To Remove:
Disengage the clutch plate slots from
drive plate lugs by turning clockwise.
This electric equipment is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit, and has a
grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in (Fig A).A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B & C) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in (Fig B) if a properly grounded
outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be
used only until a properly grounded
outlet (Fig A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician.The green color
rigid ear, lug or the like extending from
the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adaptor is used, it must be held in
place by a metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
