Electrical safety precautions to follow when using your Porter power sander
The power sander power cord plug must match the receptacle on the electrical wall outlet. Never modify the power sander power cord plug in any manner. Don't use an adapter plug with an earth grounded power sander.
Don't expose the power sander to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the power sander will increase the risk of electric shock.
Check the condition of the power cord before using the power sander. Repair damaged wires in the power cord or replace the power cord if it's damaged before using the power sander.
When operating the power sander outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use to prevent the chance of electrical shock.
If operating the power sander in a damp location or around a water source, use a GCFI protected power supply.
