Ensure that the sander is disconnected from the main supply before servicing, lubricating, making adjustments, changing accessories, or replacing sanding belts. Accidental start-ups may occur if the tool is plugged in during an accessory change. Before plugging the tool back in, check that the trigger is OFF. 2.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE-INSULATED CHARGER The tool’s electrical system is double-insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double-insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal components with protecting insulation.
