Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic pads. Most

It has been found that electric tools are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure when
they are used on fiberglass boats, sports care,
wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster. The
chips and grindings from these materials are highly
abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings,
brushes, commutators, 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.
Remember: It is recommended that you use this
sander for sanding wood and plastics only.
EXTENSION CORDS
The usa 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.
A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 100 feet or
less in length. When working outdoors, use an
extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use.
The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
,_ CAUTION:
Keep extension cords away from
the cutting area and position the cord so that it
will not get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during
sanding operation.
A
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 electdcal shock
resulting in serious injury.
Extension cords suitable for use with your sander are
available at your nearest Sears Retail Store.
d_i, 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.
