any adapter plugs with grounded
power tools. Unmodied plugs and

Avoid body contact with grounded b.
surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Do not expose this Belt/Disc c.
Sander to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use d.
the cord for carrying, pulling or

edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
