2. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3. Keep any articles of clothing, jewelry, hair etc. away from moving parts. These can be caught
in moving parts, resulting in damage to the tool and/or serious injury.
4. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate any
machine or tool when you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
5. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by
a doctor and then have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being
caused by or worsened from tool use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hands, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud's
Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical attention
as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between
different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip the tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control
of it).
7. To reduce vibrations, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations occur,
stop using this tool immediately.
8. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down or leave it unattended
until it has come to a complete stop. A part that is moving could make the tool jump or grab
a surface and pull the tool out of your control.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Use an appropriate dust respirator when sanding for an extended period of time. This will
help prevent breathing in the fine dust created while sanding.
CAUTION!
Some wood contains preservative such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA),
which can be toxic. When sanding these materials extra care should be taken to avoid
inhalation and minimize skin contact.
2. Before changing the sandpaper, turn off and unplug the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the
work of a larger industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for
which it was intended. Do not modify this tool or use for a purpose for which it was
not designed.
2. Securely hold this tool using both hands. Using tools with only one hand can result in
loss of control.
