WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals 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
groundingwire. If repair or replacement of the electric 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 Cede and
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: This work shouldbe performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong groundingadapter (see
Figure 7) 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-preng grounding adapter is not permitted 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 outlet 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 qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in volt-
age and loss of power.
• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficientsize to
carry the current end maintain adequate voltage.
• Use the ta_e to determine the minimum wire size (A,W.G.)
extension cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool
plug,
If the extensioncord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

Drum Sander has a locking rocker switch with removable ke
for safe and easy operation
• Remove the key from the Iook_]ng rocker switch to prevent
unauthorized use of the tool.To replace the key, press key
into the slot on the locking rocker switch.
Drum sander also has a manual reset overload protector to
prevent damage to motor and other electrical components.
The overload protector will get activated when high current is
detected while operating the tool. This will turn the tool off to
prevent damage. If that occurs, turn machine "OFF" and
depress the reset button once. The tool will be ready to con-
tinue operation.
Refer to Figures 9 - 13, pages 6, 7, 10 and 12.
