Sanders can generate unexpected movement.
Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Be sure your body position allows you to have control of the tool at all
times. Make sure your footing is secure. When possible, secure the work piece in a vice or with clamps.
Unexpected tool movement can cause injury.
Using excessive force on a tool makes it hard to control.
Do not force tool.
Hard to control tool can cause injury.
Taping or wiring the throttle valve in the "ON" position will prevent the tool from shutting off if the tool should jam or
malfunction or if anything unexpected happens.
Do not wire or tape down the "On-Off" valve of any power tool.
Tools that are prevented from shutting off can cause injury.
Poorly maintained and lubricated tools can fail unexpectedly.
Keep tool properly lubricated and in good repair at all times. Use only Sioux Air Motor Oil No. 288. See the tool's
information sheet to find out what other greases and oils to use. Do not drop the end of the hose on the floor
where it will pick up dirt and transport it into the tool. See information sheet for any additional maintenance
requirements.
Unexpected tool failures can cause injury.
Backing pads, sanding discs and related equipment in poor shape or not the proper ones for the tool can cause the tool
to malfunction. Backing pads not properly tightened can spin off. Sanding disc not properly attached can spin off. Dust
collection equipment not properly attached can come off.
Be certain that all backing pads, sanding discs and related equipment are in good shape, the proper ones for the
type and size of tool being used, and are securely fastened.
Backing pads and sanding discs that spin off can cause injury. Dust collection equipment that comes off can cause injury.
Sanding discs mounted off-center can expose an excessive portion of the edge and cause vibration.
Make sure the sanding disc is mounted concentrically on the backing pad.
Excessively exposed portions of the sanding disc can cause injury. Excessive vibration can cause injury.
Air hoses can come loose from power tools and whip.
Inspect and do not use tools with loose or damaged air hoses or fittings.
Whipping air hoses can cause injury.
