Safety Warnings Common for Sanding Operations:
a. This p ower to ol is intended to func tion as a sander. Read all safet y warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury
b. Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not
recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool
was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does
not assure safe operation.
d. The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e. The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
f. The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
g. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
h. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating par ticles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
k. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
l. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The
