Safety Warnings For Sanding Operations

1. This power tool is intended to function as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions and specications provided with this power

tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re, or personal injury.

2. Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool.

Operations for which the tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

3. Do not use accessories which are not specically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can

be attached to your power tool does not assure safe operation.

4. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear

dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping ying debris generated by various operations. The eye

protection must be capable of stopping ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of

ltering particles generated by your operations. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Additional Rules For Safe Operation

1. Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust collection receiver unattended.

Always empty into a non-combustible metal container. Sanding wood or varnish produces dust that can self ignite and cause injury or

damage. Always empty dust bags or collection receiver before storing the machine.

2. Set all exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away from work area. Do not strike metal pipes etc., with sanding paper. Striking metal

or abrasive particles with sanding paper produces sparks that could ignite the sanding dust which can cause injury or damage.

3. Do not operate a partially assembled power tool. Keep all adjustments within manufacturer's specications. Keep all fasteners tight.

Operating a partially assembled power tool could result in injury to the operator or bystander and could cause damage to the equipment

or surroundings.

4. Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while the power tool is running. The sanding drum can snag clothing and cause injury to

limbs, and moving sanding paper can cause abrasions.

5. The power tool should only be used on an electrical system (mains) that is rated for the electrical requirements of the power tool as

shown on the nameplate. Use only on an earthing (grounded) system. Do not service the power tool if it is energized or connected to

an electrical circuit. Improper use could cause re or electric shock.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

CAUTION: This machine will operate only on AC frequency and on electrical voltage shown on the motor nameplate. Make

sure you have the correct frequency and voltage before connecting the power cord to an outlet. The machine has

a plug as shown below.

DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the machine is exposed to water or rain. Keep the machine in a dry building.

DANGER:

Electrocution could occur if machine is improperly connected to the electrical system. To prevent possible electric

shock

, always use a 3-wire electrical system connected to an electrical ground. For maximum protection against

electrical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical

contractor.

DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the ground pin is tampered with in any way. Do not cut, remove, or break the ground

pin. Do not try to t a three-terminal plug into a receptacle or connector body other than a three-plug receptacle

or connector body. If the outlet does not t the plug, consult your electrical contractor.

DANGER: Electrocution could occur if the machine is used with a damaged plug or power cord. If the cords or plugs are worn

or damaged in any way, have them replaced by an authorized service person or electrician.
