POWER SOURCE
WARNING: Do not connect sander to the power source
until all assembly steps have been completed.
The motor is designed for operation on the voltage and
frequency specified. Normal loads will be handled safely
on voltages not more than 10% above or below speci-
fied voltage. Running the unit on voltages which are not
within range may cause overheating and motor burn-
out. Heavy loads require that voltage at motor terminals
be no less than the voltage specified on nameplate.
• Power supply to the motor is controlled by a single
pole locking rocker switch. Remove the key to pre-
vent unauthorized use.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of equipment
grounding conductor can result in the risk of electrical
shock. Equipment should be grounded while in use to
protect operator from electrical shock.
• Check with a qualified electrician if grounding
instructions are not understood or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
• This tool is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord rated at 300V and a 3-prong grounding type
plug (see Figure 4) for your protection against shock
hazards.
• Grounding plug should be plugged directly into a
properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-
type receptacle, as shown (Figure 4).

° Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any man-
ner. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electrical shock.
WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the termi-
nals of plug when installing or removing from outlet.
• Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify plug
provided. If it will not fit in outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
• Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have
repaired by an authorized service facility.
• Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the elec-
tric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with National
Electric Code and local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: This work should be performed by a quali-
fied electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (see
Figure 5) is available for connecting plugs to a two pole
outlet if it is properly grounded.

° Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter
unless permitted by local and national codes and
ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permit-
ted in Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or
terminal on the side of the adapter must be securely
connected to a permanent electrical ground such as a
properly grounded water pipe, a properly grounded out-
let box or a properly grounded wire system.
. Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet
boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper
ground, grounding means must be tested by a quali-
fied electrician.
