 WARNINg: 
This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may 
contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive 
harm. 
Wash hands after handling. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•  lead from lead-based paints,
•  crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products and,
•  arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. 
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your expo-
sure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed 
to filter out microscopic particles. 
motor causing possible damage from overheating and can 
result in inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften 
from the frictional heat. Do not sand on one spot too long 
as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, 
making the surface uneven.
Extended periods of sanding may overheat the motor. If this 
occurs, turn the sander off and wait until the sanding sheet 
comes to a complete stop. Remove sander from workpiece. 
Remove sanding disc, then turn sander on and run it free 
without a load to cool the motor.
