8. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtering particles generated by your operations. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
9. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of work piece or a broken accessory mayfly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
10. Hold power tool by gripping insulated surfaces (handle) only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and shock the operator.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you loose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your arm or hand
may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
12. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
13. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your
clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
14. Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation
may cause electrical hazards.
15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16. Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommendations when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the
disc or kickback.
17. Risk of explosion. Floor sanding can result in an explosive mixture of fine dust and air. Use floor sanding machine only in a
well-ventilated area free from any flame or match.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
1. Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust collection receiver
unattended. Always empty in a non-combustible metal container. Sanding wood or varnish produces dust that can self ignite
and cause injury or damage. Follow this precaution for storage.
2. Set all exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away from work area. Do not strike metal pipes, ect., with sanding paper.
Striking metal or abrasive particles with sanding paper produces sparks that could ignite the sanding dust which can cause
injury or damage.
3. Do not operate a partially assembled power tool. Keep all adjustments within manufacturer's specifications. Keep all fasteners
tight. Operating a partially assembled power tool could result in injury to the operator or bystander and could cause damage to
the equipment or surroundings.
4. Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while the power tool is running. The sanding drum can snag clothing and cause
injury to limbs, and moving sanding paper can cause abrasions.
5. The power tool should only be used on an electrical system (mains) that is rated for the electrical requirements of the power
tool as shown on the nameplate. Use only on an earthing (grounded) system. Do not service the power tool if it is energized
or connected to an electrical circuit. Improper use could cause fire or electric shock.
