Do not use the Belt/Disc Sander in a damp or wet location.

Do not use adapter plugs with this product. To com- ply with the National Electric Code, and to provide additional protection from the risk of electrical shock, this product should only be connected to a 110 Volt,

3-hole electrical outlet that is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).

3.DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Do not use the Power Cord (55) to pull its 3-Prong Plug from an electrical power outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Route the Power Cord safely. Do not route the Power Cord where it can be walked on or tripped over. Replace a dam- aged Power Cord immediately.

4.IF AN EXTENSION CORD (not included) IS USED, MAKE SURE TO USE ONLY UL APPROVED CORDS HAVING THE CORRECT GAUGE AND LENGTH. This product requires a 14 gauge extension cord.
