WARNING: When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp, wet, or poorly lit locations. Don't expose
your tool to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Don't use tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept away from the work area. Don't let them
handle machines, tools or extensions cords. Visitors can be a distraction and are difficult to protect from injury.
4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that itself is properly installed and grounded. Grounding
provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction
electrically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter the plug in any way. If in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded according to code, check with a qualified electrician.
5. OBSERVE PROPER PRECAUTIONS REGARDING DOUBLE INSULATION. This tool is double insulated. It is
equipped with a polarized plug. One blade is wider than the other, so it will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you
have difficulty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If it still doesn't fit, do not alter the plug; have a qualified electrician
install a polarized outlet.
6. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerator enclosures. When your body is grounded the risk of electric shock increases. When working wherever live
electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock. Even so, DO NOT TOUCH
ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL while using it. Hold the tool only by the plastic grip to prevent electric shock if you
contact a live wire.
7. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry your sander by the cord or pull on the cord to unplug it. Protect the cord
from potential sources of damage: heat, oil & solvents, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
8. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION CORD. An extension cord rated for
outdoor use must be marked "W-A" or "W".
9. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or wet conditions can cause water to enter
the tool and lead to electric shock.
10. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE FOR ITS LENGTH.

11. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust. Equipment also should be in a high
location or locked up to keep out of reach of children.
12. DON'T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.
13. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Don't use a
tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
14. DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear loose clothing or jewelry; they can be caught in moving parts. Protective, non-
electrically conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair and keep it from harm.
