WARNING:
For your personal safety, READ and UNDERSTAND before using.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
5. Avoid body contact with grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.
Tool Use and Care
15. Use clamps or other practical way 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.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
16. 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.
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
8. When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Personal Safety
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating 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.
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing 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.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
11. 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.
12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
22. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
SERVICE
23. Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury.
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
3
24. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-
ber, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB038-5
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to sander safety rules. If
you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning
label. Wheels and other accessories running
over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury.
4. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
5. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades
or other sawblades. Such blades when
used on a sander frequently kick and
cause loss of control leading to personal
injury.
2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the
flange (especially the installing surface)
or the lock nut. Damage to these parts
could result in wheel breakage.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.
4
9. Make sure the abrasive disc or the wheel
is not contacting the workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
IF USED AS A GRINDER
16. Always use proper guard with grinding
wheel. A guard protects operator from bro-
ken wheel fragments.
10. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool
so that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.
17. When using depressed center grinding
wheels, be sure to use only fiberglass-
reinforced wheels.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.
18. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or
12. Do not touch the workpiece immediately
after operation; it may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
damage
before
operation.
Replace
cracked or damaged wheel immediately.
Run the tool (with guard) at no load for
about a minute, holding tool away from
others. If wheel is flawed, it will likely sep-
arate during this test.
13. Ventilate your work area adequately when
you perform sanding operations.
14. ALWAYS wear proper apparel including
long sleeve shirts, leather gloves and
shop aprons to protect skin from contact
with hot grindings.
19. Before using the tool on an actual work-
piece, let it run for a while. Watch for
vibration or wobbling that could indicate
poor installation or a poorly balanced
wheel.
15. Use of this tool to grind or sand some
products, paints and wood could expose
user to dust containing hazardous sub-
stances. Use appropriate respiratory pro-
tection.
20. Use the specified surface of the wheel to
perform the grinding.
