WARNING:
Non-compliant
eyewear can cause serious injury if
broken during operation of a power tool.
WARNING:
Always use a dust
mask when sanding.
Use hearing protection
, particularly during
extended periods of operation.
Do not wear gloves
, neckties or loose
clothing.
Secure workpiece
. Use clamps or a vice
to hold the work when practical. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.
Do not sand material too small to be
securely held
.
Make sure there are no nails or foreign
objects
in the part of the workpiece to be
sanded.
Always keep hands out of the path of
the sanding pad
. Avoid awkward hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the path of the
sanding pad.
To avoid injury from accidental starting
,
always remove the plug from the power
source before installing or removing a
sandpaper or dust duct bag.
Make sure your extension cord is the
proper size.
When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current the tool will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The table below shows the
correct size to use according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good condition.
Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from
sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your
power tools.
This circuit must not be less
than 14 gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15A time delay fuse
or circuit breaker. Before connecting the
power tool to the power source, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position and the
power source is the same as indicated on
the nameplate. Running at lower voltage
will damage the motor.
WARNING:
Repair or replace
damaged or worn extension cords
immediately.
Select the appropriate extension cord
gauge
and length using the chart below.
