EXTENSION CORDS

The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the loss to a minimum and to prevent tool overheating,
use an extension cord that is heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Follow the recommended cord sizes on the
chart provided to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord.
Extension Cord Length
0-100 Feet
When working with your tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use and so marked. Outdoor use extension
cords are marked with the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the sanding area and position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, etc., when sanding.
WARNING: CHECK EXTENSION CORDS BEFORE EACH USE. IF DAMAGED REPLACE IMMEDIATELY.
NEVER USE TOOL WITH A DAMAGED CORD SINCE TOUCHING THE DAMAGED AREA COULD CAUSE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY.
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.

MAINTENANCE

When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has been
found that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc.
Consequently it is not recommended that this tool be used for
extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds, or plaster. During any use on these materials, it
is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by
blowing with an air jet.
WARNING: ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES,
OR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS
DURING POWER TOOL OPERATION OR WHEN
BLOWING DUST. IF OPERATION IS DUSTY ALSO
WEAR A DUST MASK.
