Additional Safety Warnings - Skil 7292 Guide D'utilisation

Always wear eye and respiratory protection for dusty applications and when sanding
overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause
health complications.
Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure treated lumber, paint that
may be lead based, or any other materials that may contain carcinogens. A suitable
breathing respirator and protective clothing must be worn by all persons entering the work
area. Work area should be sealed by plastic sheeting and persons not protected should be
kept out until work area is thoroughly cleaned.
Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids entering the motor housing is an electrical shock
hazard.
Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will extend
beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back. Extra paper
extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to
the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control
the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful
not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be serviced by a Skil Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Skil Service Station.

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
