 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To avoid mistakes and serious injury, do not plug in your tool until the entire instruction
manual and all labels affixed to the tool have been read and understood.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas can cause accidents. Do not work on floor
surfaces that are slippery with sawdust or wax.

2. 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.

3. Keep bystanders at a safe distance from the work area. Never allow children or pets near the tool.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock. If using a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

2. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Modified plugs with unmatch-
ing outlets will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.

4. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety goggles at all times that comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Use ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation. Wear a face mask or dust
mask to fight the dust produced by sanding operations.

3. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when operating the tool.
Inappropriate clothing and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. Always wear non-slip
footwear and tie back long hair.

4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

3
 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Avoid accidental start-ups. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting to power
source, picking up or carrying the tool.

2. Check power tool for damaged parts. Check for misalignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, im-
proper mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn ON/OFF. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before use.

3. Do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. Use the correct power tool and accessories
and follow the instructions for your application to prevent hazardous situations.

4. Remove adjustment tools. Always make sure all adjustment tools or wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning on the power tool.

5. Keep guards in place and in working order before operating the tool.

6. Use dust extraction. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection is highly recommended to reduce dust-
related hazards.

7. Never leave a running tool unattended. Do not leave the tool until it has come to a complete stop.

8. Disconnect the plug from the power source. ALWAYS remove the power cord plug from the electrical outlet
when making adjustments, changing parts, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

9. Maintain power tools properly. Safely store power tools out of the reach of children. Always keep tools clean
and in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain
chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc-
tive harm. Wash hands after handling. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your expo-
sure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment such as dust masks
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

 SAFETY RULES FOR AIR FILTRATION SYSTEMS

WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product
safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.

1. To reduce the risk of injury and electric shock hazards, disconnect the air filtration system from the power
source before making adjustments, servicing or changing filters.

2. If mounting the air filtration system to the ceiling, make sure the following requirements are met:

• The bottom of the air filtration system should be at least 7 feet above the floor level.

• Anchor the air filtration system only to building structures capable of holding at least 100 lbs.

• Do not anchor the filtration system to non-structural components such as drywall, false ceiling panels, etc.

3. Position the air filtration system so that it is at least 3 feet away from any corner or from any heating, cool-
ing, or air circulation vents.

4. This filtration system is only designed to filter dust, small particles, etc. Do not use the air filtration system
in environments that have poisonous gases, fumes, noxious smoke, or other chemical risks.

5. Do not expose the air filtration system to water. Do not use in wet or damp environments. Failure to comply
with this instruction may cause damage to the unit and electric shock or other injury to the user.

6. Do not connect a power tool that expels waste or dust directly into the air filtration system. Doing so may
damage the unit.

7. This filtration system is designed to filter many airborne contaminants that may damage the human respira-
tory system. However, the use of this system does NOT mean that other safety measures such as dust masks
can be ignored. Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any worrying respiratory symptoms.

These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool,
so always make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.

 ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for an
electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.

USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have three-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the tool’s
plug as shown in Figure A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician. CHECK with a licensed
electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the
grounding instructions or whether the tool is properly grounded.

IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can re-

sult in electric shock. The conductor with the green insulation (with or
without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect
Figure A
the equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.

CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure,
have a licensed electrician check the outlet

GUIDELINES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXTENSION CORDS

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product 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 be used according to cord length and ampere rating. When in doubt, use a
heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

REQUIRED GAUGE FOR EXTENSION CORDS

AMPERAGE
25 ft. 50 ft. 100 ft. 150 ft.
3.0 A 18 gauge 16 gauge 16 gauge 14 gauge

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged exten-
sion cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp
objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be
protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.

WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.
