Allow the tool to cool down completely after use before
touching it.
-
Always wait until all moving parts have stopped after
working with the tool.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Warning! Some particles from sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other activities contain chemicals that cause
cancer, birth defects and other reproductive problems. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
- lead in lead-based paints,
- crystalline silica in bricks, cement and other masonry
products,
- arsenic and chromium in chemically treated wood (CCA).
The risk of being exposed to these chemicals varies according
to the frequency with which this type of work is carried out.
In order to reduce exposure to these chemicals, it is
recommended to work in well-ventilated areas and to use
approved safety equipment, such as dust masks specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
- Avoid prolonged contact with dust from sanding, sawing,
graining, drilling and similar activities. Wear protective
clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to enter your mouth, eyes or come into contact
with your skin can cause absorption of harmful chemicals.
Warning! Use of this tool may generate or disperse dust
particles, which can cause permanent and serious respiratory or
other injuries. Always wear appropriate respiratory protection
for dust exposure. Keep particles away from the face and body.
WARNING! Wear appropriate hearing protection during use.
Under certain conditions and with prolonged use, the noise
generated by this appliance may promote hearing loss.

- Always wear appropriate respiratory and eye protection.
- Clean your tool periodically.
- Before using the tool on metal or metal-containing parts, be
sure to remove the dust collection tank.
- Wear gloves when working with metal parts.
- SANDING OF LEAD-BASED PAINTS. Sanding of lead-based
paints is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty in
controlling contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead
poisoning is for children and pregnant women. Since it is
difficult to identify whether or not paint contains lead without
a chemical analysis, we recommend that you consider the
following precautions when sanding any type of paint:
Personal safety
- Do not allow children or pregnant women in the work area
when sanding paint until you have finished cleaning up.
- The use of dust masks is recommended for all people
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or
when the user has difficulty breathing.
- Note: only masks suitable for working with dust and paint
fumes must be used. Common paint masks do not offer this
protection. Visit your local tool retailer for the appropriate
mask.
- DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE in the work area to avoid
ingesting contaminated paint particles. Users must wash
and clean themselves BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking.
Eating, drinking and smoking items should not be left in the
work area where dust will settle on them.
Environmental safety
- Paint must be removed in such a way as to minimise the
amount of dust generated.
