WARNING

• Wear eye protection.

• Always keep guards in place and in proper operating condition. Do not operate the machine without the guards for any reason.

• This sander is intended to be used with wood and wood products only. Use of this sander and a dust collector with metal products is a potential ﬁre hazard.

• Support the workpiece adequately at all times during operation; maintain control of the work at all times.

• This sander is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only.

• If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a sander, do not use until proper training and knowledge has been obtained.

• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting

wrenches are removed from the machine before turning it on.

• KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

• DON’T USE IN A DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations,or expose

them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work area.

• MAKE THE WORKSHOP KIDPROOF with padlocks, master swatches, or by removing starter keys.

• DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a machine or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

• USE THE 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 machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The table following shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

• 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

• ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust masks if the cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING.

• REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of accessories and attachments not recommended by OLIVER may cause hazards or risk of injury to persons.

• NEVER STAND ON A MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine is tipped.

• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the machine, 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.

• NEVER LEAVE THE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

• SOME DUST CREATED by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from those 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 speciﬁcally designed to ﬁlter out microscopic particles

• DO NOT operate tool while under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.

• AVOID kickback by sanding in accordance with directional arrows.

• DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.

• WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support at table height.

• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of this product is available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201, in the Accident Prevention Manual for Industrial Operations and also in the safety Data Sheets provided by the NSC.

Grounding Instructions

Caution: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

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.

Do not modify the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

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 equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

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. Use only three wire extension cords that have three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the tool’s plug.

Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

115 Volt Operation

As received from the factory, your sander is ready to run at 115 volt operation. This sander, when wired for 115 volt, is intended for use on a circuit that has an outlet and a plug that looks like the one illustrated in (A). A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter as illustrated in (B), may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as shown in (B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should only be used until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. This adapter is not applicable in Canada. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or tab, extending from the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box, as shown in (B).
