Model W1815 (Mfg. Since 10/10) SAFETY Additional Safety for Disc Sanders AVOID FINGER INJURIES. Never purposely touch the moving sanding disc. Take care to keep fingers away from sanding disc during operations. If the workpiece is small or difficult to hold, use a workpiece holding fixture. Sanding abrasives can quickly remove large amounts of skin! POSITION TABLE CORRECTLY.
Model W1815 (Mfg. Since 10/10) ELECTRICAL Circuit Requirements This machine must be connected to the correct size and type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage may occur. Read through this section to determine if an adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install one before you can connect the machine to power.
Model W1815 (Mfg. Since 10/10) Grounding Requirements ELECTRICAL This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain types of malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to travel—in order to reduce the risk of electric shock. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire will increase the risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with/without yellow stripes) is the equipmentgrounding wire.
