An adapter Fig. “B” and “C” is available for connecting Fig. “A” type plugs to two-prong
receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc., extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet box.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB038-5
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. Accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning
label. Wheels and other accessories running
over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury.
2. Hold tool 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.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.
4. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
5. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades
or other sawblades. Such blades when
used on a sander frequently kick and
cause loss of control leading to personal
injury.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the
flange (especially the installing surface)
or the lock nut. Damage to these parts
could result in wheel breakage.
9. Make sure the abrasive disc or the wheel
is not contacting the workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
10. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool
so that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
