To set-up your machine follow this procedure:
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine and read all
danger, warning and caution statements. Make
sure all operators of this machine have read this
Owner's Manual. If they cannot read English,
have the manual explained fully before allowing
anyone to operate the sander.

be compatible with the plug. The receptacle must
be grounded and must be fused (30 amp) to avoid
