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 sur-
faces 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. Ordi-
nary 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.
