Electrical information Grounding Instructions IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances. DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
Electrical information (continued) Guidelines for using extension cords WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations. 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.

General Maintenance Before each use, check for damaged, missing, or worn parts.
Troubleshooting 1. Over time, if the performance of the tool diminishes, or it stops working completely, it may be necessary to replace the Carbon Brushes (34) by removing the Brush Holder (33). This procedure should be completed by a qualified technician. If the Carbon Brushes are not worn down, try cleaning the Carbon Brush tips with an ink eraser. 2. If the Sanding sleeve stops rotating when you touch it or press the stock material against it, turn off the machine at once.
