31-390 ONLY:
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire extension cord
which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching
receptacle which will accept the tool’s plug. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the tool. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Fig. C, shows the correct gauge to use
depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Carefully unpack the tool, two legs and all loose items
from the shipping container(s). Remove the protective
coating from all unpainted surfaces. This coating may be
removed with a soft cloth moistened with kerosene (do
not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this
purpose). After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with
a good quality household floor paste wax.
Fig. 2, illustrates the basic sander (A) removed from the
shipping container. Place the sander (A) on a supporting
surface that will hold 375 lbs., such as two saw horses,
which will allow safe and efficient assembly of the legs.
