or vapors.
Explosions and fire can cause injury.
Backing pads rotating at excessive speed can burst.
Check the speed printed on the backing pad. This speed must be greater
than the nameplate speed of the sander. Do not exceed rated operating air
pressure.
Bursting backing pads can cause injury or death.
Sanders are not guarded for use with grinding wheels or cut off wheels.
Never mount a grinding wheel or cutoff wheel on a sander.
Unguarded grinding wheels and cut off wheels can cause injury.
Sanders can generate unexpected movement.
Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Be sure your body position allows

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
Snap-on IM6 Air Motor Oil. 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.
Air hoses that are not oil resistant or are not rated for the working pressure can
burst.
Make sure that all air hoses are oil resistant and rated for the working
pressure.
Air hoses that burst can cause injury.
Tools not operated at proper air pressure can operate erratically.
Do not exceed a maximum air pressure of 90 psig/6.2 bar or as stated
on the tool's nameplate or operating instructions. Use an air regulator to
maintain proper air pressure.
Erratic operation in power tools can cause injury.
