CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Electrical Safety
1. 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 grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from the outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
Extension Cords
1. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. 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. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate Ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
2. 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 electrical shock.
3. Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use damaged
or altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufacturer safety instruction.
4. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

ASSEMBLY (continued)
Using the Sandpaper Punch Plate
1. (SEE FIGURE 4) Align the tabs (1) on the
punch plate with any two adjacent sides of
the sander base (2).
2. Press down to punch the 8 dust evacuation
holes in the sandpaper. Remove the
punch plate.
NOTE: Punch plate may be mounted
directly to work surface with flathead
screws (not provided). Holding sander by
the palm grip, push base down onto punch
plate to perforate paper.
Installing the Dust Collector
1. (SEE FIGURE 5) Grasp the dust collector by
the plastic housing (1) near the collar and
insert the tube of the dust bag Into the dust
evacuation chute (2) at the rear of the
sander. The rubber O-ring on the tube will
retain the bag and provide a tight seal.
NOTE: The holes in the sandpaper must
be aligned with the holes in the sander base
for the dust collection system to work.
2. To clean the bag, grasp it by the housing (1)
and with a slight twisting motion remove it
from the chute.
