RFeaailduraentdo fuonllodwersatall nidnstarullctions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WORK AREA · Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. · Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. · Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. ELECTRICAL SAFETY · Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation [] eliminates the need for the three-wire grou_ed power cord and grounded power supply system. · Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. · Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. · Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents. · Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury. · Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. · Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec- tion. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. · Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn into air vents. · Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations. TOOLUSEAND CARE · Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. · Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. · Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. · Disconnect the plug from power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. · Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. · When operating a power tool outside, use an · outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. PERSONALSAFETY · · Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious · personal injury. · Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth- · ing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 3 Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool. Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.

Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, chips, or loose particles being thrown in your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. If the operation is dusty, also wear a face or dust mask. SELECTING SANDING BELTS Selecting the correct size and type of sanding belt is an important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. In general, when sanding, coarse grit removes the most material and fine grit produces the best finish. The condition of the surface to be sanded determines which grit will do the best job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium grit to remove scratches left by the coarser grit. Finally, use finer grit for finishing the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform. USING SANDING BELTS TO INSTALL/CHANGE SANDING BELTS See Figures 2, 3, and 4. Follow these steps to install or change sanding belts. · Unplug the sander. · Raise the tension release lever. Note: If you are changing sanding belts, remove the old sanding belt at this time. Install the sanding belt. A CAUTION: If the sanding belt is not a bidirectional belt, ensure that the arrow inside the belt is pointing in the direction of the rotation (clockwise when looking into the open side of the sander). Installing unidirectional sanding belts backwards can create a hazardous condition. · Align the sanding belt to its correct position. · Lower the tension release lever to secure the sanding belt. \ \ \ ,_ WARNING: Failure to unplug the tool could result in serious injury due to accidental starting. · Position the sander on its side with the cord on the left. ,_,1= WARNING: Keep hands and fingers clear of the rollers and spring mechanism at all times.
