Air powered tools can vibrate in use. Vibration,
•
repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions may
be harmful to your hands and arms. Stop using
any tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain
occurs. Seek medical advice before resuming use.
Use accessories recommended by Ingersoll- - Rand.
•
These Sanders will operate at the free speed
•
specified on the nameplate if the air supply line
furnishes 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) air pressure at
the tool. Operation at higher air pressure will
result in excessive speed.
Use only a sanding pad, buffing wheel or polishing
•
bonnet with these tools. Do not use any grinding
wheel, bur or metal removing accessory with these
tools. Never use an accessory having a maximum
operating speed less than the free speed of the
Sander in which it is being used.
When using a pad having a shank, insert the shank
•
to full depth in the collet. When using a pad on a
threaded arbor, make certain the flange nut is
tightened securely. Check the tightness of the
collet nut or flange nut before operating a Sander
to make certain it will not loosen during operation.
This tool is not designed for working in explosive
•
atmospheres.
This tool is not insulated against electric shock.
•
Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust
•
and particles created by power tool use:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. 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 these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
