PRE-OPERATION:
Before using the Electric Power Tool, complete the following preparations.
CAUTION: CONFIRM THE FOLLOWING POINTS PRIOR TO CONNECTING
THE PLUG TO THE POWER SOURCE.
1. Confirm the applied power source:
Be sure to operate the Electric Power Tool in the voltage specified on the name
plate.
2. Confirm that the power switch is turned "OFF":
If the plug is connected to the power receptacle while the power switch is turned
"ON", the machine starts operating unexpectedly, inviting serious accidents. Prior
to using the Electric Power Tool, be sure to confirm that the power switch is turned
"OFF".
3. Extension cord:
When the work area is far away from the power source, use an extension cord of
sufficient thickness and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept as
short as possible.
CAUTION: DAMAGED CORD MUST BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED.
4. Confirming condition of the environment:
Confirm that the work site is placed under appropriate conditions conforming to
prescribed precautions.
5. Confirm the power receptacle:
If the power receptacle only loosely accepts the plug, the receptacle must be
repaired. Contact the nearest electric store for repair service. If such a faulty
receptacle is used, it may cause overheating, resulting in a serious hazard.
6. Attach sanding belt:
