CONIMECTING TO POWER SUPPLY
OUTLET
This machine must be grounded while in use to protect
the operator from electric shock.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Plug power cord into a 120V properly grounded type
outlet protected by a 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker,
WARNING: To avoid electrocution: Do not let fin­
gers touch the terminals of plugs when installing or
removing the plug to or from the outlet.
WARNING: If not properly grounded, thispowertooi
can cause an electrical shock, particularly when
used in damp locations close to plumbing. If an
electrical shock occurs there is the potential of a
secondary hazard, such as your hands contacting
the sanding surface.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution or fire, if power
cord Is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it
replaced immediately.
