operating speed of pad may cause pad to

tearing of the paper or kick-back. Extra paper
extending beyond the sanding pad can also
cause serious lacerations.
Clamp or secure workpiece when
sanding. Clamping the workpiece prevents
it from being ejected from under the sander

Keep the cord away from the spinning
pad and sandpaper. The cord can become
entangled with the pad.
