GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to
follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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 children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not 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 for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon 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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the
tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, doublecheck the power supply.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord
that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

POLISHING
See Figure 4, page 12.
WARNING:
Keep a firm grip on the tool with both hands at all times.
Failure to do so could result in loss of control leading to
possible serious injury.
When polishing, hold the sander/polisher firmly, allowing it
to operate freely without unnecessary pressure. The weight
of the tool alone will provide adequate pressure for polishing at top efficiency. For best results, always operate at low
speed when polishing.
Bonnets must be kept clean and free from grit, dirt, and
other abrasive particles. When bonnets become dirty and
OPERATION
clogged with polishing film, wash in lukewarm water with
a mild detergent. Allow bonnets to dry thoroughly before
reuse. Polish with a long sweeping motion, back and forth,
advancing along the surface to be polished. Do not hold the
tool in one spot or use a circular or spiral pattern. This will
cause swirls in the finish.
Spread a light coat of polish or wax over a small area.
Polish with the tool according to the manufacturer’s
instructions printed on the label of the polish or wax
container.
NOTE: Some polishes should be buffed while damp while
others must be allowed to dry; therefore, always check the
manufacturer’s label.
Tilt the tool so that the polishing bonnet is at a slight angle
to the work surface. Always start polishing at the top or
highest point and work down. This will prevent light dust
or polish film from being thrown upon completed section.
It also eliminates pulling the tool’s power cord over
sections already polished.
Surfaces that have an old film of wax or polish, or that
have not been polished or waxed for an extended
period of time, may require a second application. This is
especially true on oxidized surfaces. Heavily oxidized
surfaces should be cleaned with a commercial paste or liquid
cleaner before polishing or waxing.
Position the tool as shown and insert pin to secure
spindle.
Loosen spanner nut with the spanner wrench provided
by turning counterclockwise.
Remove spanner nut.
Remove the sanding disc.
Reinstall spanner nut and tighten securely.
Remove pin securing spindle.
SANDING
See Figure 6, page 12.
Clamp or otherwise secure the work to prevent it from
moving under the sander/polisher. Secure small workpieces
in a vise or use clamps to secure them to a workbench.
WARNING:
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator
causing injury.
Hold the tool in front and away from you, keeping it clear
of the workpiece. Start the tool by depressing the switch
trigger and letting the motor build to its maximum speed.
Gradually lower sander/polisher to the workpiece at a slight
(5° to 8°) angle.
WARNING:
Check polishing bonnets before each use. Make sure
they are clean and free from any loose particles or foreign
objects that may be embedded in the bonnet. Failure to
do so could cause these particles or objects to be thrown
from the tool resulting in possible serious injury.
INSTALLING OPTIONAL SANDING DISC
See Figure 5, page 11.
NOTE: A sanding disc is not supplied.
Unplug the sander/polisher.
Position the tool as shown and align the spindle lock hole
with the two half-circle notches in motor housing. Lock
spindle by inserting the pin provided through spindle lock
hole and trapping it in half circle notches. This will prevent
spindle from rotating.
Loosen spanner nut with the spanner wrench provided
by turning counterclockwise.
Remove spanner nut.
Center the sanding disc over the rubber disc and start
spanner nut onto threaded spindle in a clockwise
direction.
Securely tighten spanner nut with the spanner wrench
provided.
Remove pin securing spindle.
To remove:
Unplug the sander/polisher.
WARNING:
To prevent loss of control and possible serious personal
injury, always operate the tool with both hands, keeping
one hand on the side handle.
Do not attempt to hold the sanding disc flat on the
workpiece. Always keep the tool in motion moving over
the work, allowing it to operate freely without unnecessary pressure. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, so let the sanding disc and sander do the work.
Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly
wears sanding discs, and greatly reduces sander speed.
Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing
possible damage from motor overheating, which can result
in inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from
the frictional heat.
Do not sand too long in one spot. This will cause uneven
sanding and gouging of the work.
Upon completion of a sanding operation, lift tool away from
work surface before turning off.
WARNING:
Sanding disc must come to a complete stop before setting tool down on workbench. Failure to do so can cause
the tool to be thrown from workbench because of sanding
disc rotation. This could result in damage to the tool or
possible serious injury to the operator.

OPERATION
SANDING DISC SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding disc is
an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and
other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
Natural abrasives such as flint and garnet are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material
and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will
determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough,
start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by
the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing the surface.
Always use the proper grit sanding disc, and not extra pressure when sanding. Continue sanding with each grit until
surface is uniform.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended
using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is
extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this
must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which could result in serious personal
injury.
