SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to sander safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool 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.
2. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
5. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
6. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
