identical replacement parts.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
1. Make sure that the tool is only connected to the voltage

WARNING! Please read and understand this operating
manual before use and keep it for your future reference.
Your power tool should only be passed on together with
these instructions.
1. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and
other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart
and cause injury. All the accessory must have a
maximum safe operating speed greater than the “no
load RPM” marked on the tool’s nameplate.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tools may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
3. Always use auxiliary handle for maximum control over
torque reaction or kick-back. Operation of the polisher
without the side handle could cause loss of control of the
grinder, resulting in possible serious personal injury.
4. Wear proper apparel while using a sander. Face shield
or at least safety goggles, dust mask, leather gloves and
shop apron capable of stopping small wheel or
workpiece fragments.
5. Position the cord clear of the spinning wheel or any
other sanding accessory. Do not wrap the cord around
your arm or wrist. If you lose control and have the cord
wrapped around your arm or wrist it may entrap you and
cause injury.
6. Regularly clean the tool’s air vents by compressed air.
Excessive accumulation of powdered metal inside the
motor housing may cause electrical failures.
7. When sanding chemically pressure treated lumber, paint
that may be lead based, or any other materials that may
contain carcinogens, use special precautions. A suitable
breathing respirator must be worn by all personal
entering the work area. Work area should be sealed by
plastic sheeting and persons not protected should be
kept out until work area is thoroughly cleaned.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Le ad from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
