SERVICE SAFETY
1. If any part of this tool is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any way;
or should any electrical component fail to perform properly: SHUT OFF the
power switch and remove the tool's plug from the power source and have the
missing, damaged or failed parts replaced BEFORE resuming operation.
2. Tool service must be performed only at a Sears Service Center. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury,
3. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow maintenance instructionsmay create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
SAFETY RULES FOR POWER SANDERS
1. HOLD TOOL by insulated gripping surfaces when sanding where tool may contact
hidden wiring, such as walls, floors, or its own power (-ord. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metals parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. INSPECT FOR AND REMOVE all nails, screws, staples or any embedded pieces
of metal from surface to be sanded. These protrusions coulcldamage the sandpaper,
the cushion of the sander and cause loss of control. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury and damage to the sander.
3. NEVER use this or any power sander for wet sanding or liquid polishing.
Failure to follow this rule will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. ALWAYS clamp the workpiece securely so it will not move under the sander.
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator, causing injury.
5. DO NOT force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies adequate
pressure. Let the sander and the grit on the sandpaper do the work.
6. DO NOT sand in any one place for too long. The sander's rapid action may
remove too much material and make the surface uneven.
