9. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary eye or sunglasses are NOT eye
protection.
10. DO NOT turn on equipment while the machine is tilted back. Any tooling fastened to the machine can
eject and become a lethal projectile.
Equipment Use and Care
1 1. The equipment is designed to remove excess surface material. To prevent damage to the equipment
and/or serious personal injury, beware of protruding objects or other debris on or embedded in the
surface being finished.
12. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing equipment. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the equipment
accidentally.
13. Maintain equipment with care. Keep tools and accessories in good condition. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to fail and are easier to control.
14. Check for binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the
equipment's operation. If damaged, have equipment serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained equipment.
15. Use only tools and accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your equipment.
Tools and accessories that may be suitable for style of equipment, may become hazardous when
used on another style of equipment.
SERVICE
16. DO NOT modify the machine. Modifications will void warranty and could result in unsafe operation of
equipment.
17. Equipment service should be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unquali ed personnel could result in a risk of injury.
18. When servicing equipment, use only identical replacement parts. Use of unauthorized parts may
create a risk of electric shock or injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For
model HDX465 use 10 gauge cord or larger. For model HDX465HV use 12 gauge cord or larger. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

ment safety rules. If you use this equipment unsafely or incorrectly, you can su er serious personal injury.
1. Tools and accessories must be rated for at least the speed stated on the equipment serial plate.
Tools and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.
