RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
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 Area
■ Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
■ Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
■ Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
■ 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 insu-
lation eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
■ 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.
■ Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
■ 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 elec-
tric shock.
■ 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
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance en-
ables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
■ Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Tool Use and Care
■ Use clamps or other practical ways 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.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce risk of starting the tool accidentally.
■ Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
■ 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.
■ Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
■ 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.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Service
■ Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in
a risk of injury.
■ When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unautho-
rized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Specific Safety Rules for Sanders
■ Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the 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.
■ Never use this or any power sander for wet
sanding or liquid polishing. Failure to comply can
result in electrical shock causing serious injury or
worse.
■ Keep hands away from sanding area.
Additional Rules for Safe Operation
■ Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool.
■ Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT
safety glasses.
■ Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty.
■ Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection
during extended periods of operation.
■ Don't abuse cord. Never carry tool by cord or yank
it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
■ 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. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least
16 is recommended for an extension cord 100 feet
or less in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not
recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the
cord.
■ Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged,
have repaired at your nearest authorized service
center. Stay constantly aware of cord location.
■ 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 by an authorized
service center.
■ Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
sanding.
■ Drugs, Alcohol, Medication. Do not operate tool
while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication.
■ Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently
and use them to instruct others who may use this
tool. If you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.
WARNING:
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 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.
