GENERAL SAFETY RULES

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

insulation 

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 electric 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 clothing, 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 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 enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

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.

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 preventative safety measures reduce

the 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 damaged, 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.

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
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.

KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW:

• Never operate the sander without a recommended sanding sheet properly

installed on the base.

• The hook and loop pad and individual bases are replaceable parts. If they become

worn, return the unit to a local service center for repair.

• Do not push down—let the sander do the work. 
• Extended drywall sanding is not recommended for this product.

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Sanders

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

• Clean your tool out periodically.

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. (CCA)

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.

EXTENSION CORDS

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. The following table 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

SANDING LEAD BASED PAINT

Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the
contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant
women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis,
we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint: 

PERSONAL SAFETY

• No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is

being done until all clean up is completed.

• A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter

should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.

• 

NOTE: 

Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should

be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware
dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.

• NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent

ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work
area where dust would settle on them.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils

thickness.

• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work

area.

CLEANING AND DISPOSAL

• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the

duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
