PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool "ON".
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it "ON" or "OFF". Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safe-
ty measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instruc-
tions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when perform-
ing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR SANDER/ POLISHERS
Before starting sanding operations with the sander/polisher, you should
become very familiar with the operation of the tool. If unsure about using the
sander for various operations, obtain advice from a qualified person or contact
Alltrade Customer Service.
Always secure working material before attempting to use the sander/polisher.
Never hold the material with your free hand or across your legs. Small or thin mate-
rial may flex or vibrate causing loss of control of the tool possibly resulting in injury.
Before turning the sander/polisher "ON," make sure the work area is free of
other tools, wood scraps and other debris.
Do not use the sander/polisher for "wet" sanding. This could result in damage
to the sander/polisher and/or electrical shock resulting in serious injury or even
death to the operator.
