OPERATOR'S MANUAL
Random Orbit Sander
Model RS280
Double Insulated
EXTENSION CORD CAUTION
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size re- quired in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords should be used.
When working with a tool outdoors, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This is indicated by the letters "WA" on the cord's jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
