SANDER SPECIFIC WARNINGS
•
Use only a sanding pad, buffing wheel or
polishing bonnet with these tools. Do not use
any grinding wheel, bur or metal removing
accessory other than a sanding pad with
these tools. Never use an accessory having a
maximum operating speed less than the free
speed of the Sander in which it is being used.
•
These Sanders will operate at the free speed
specified on the nameplate if the air supply
line furnishes 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) air
pressure at the tool. Operation at higher air
pressure will result in excessive speed.
•
Do not operate this Sander away from the
work surface.
•
Check for excessive speed and vibration
before operating.
•
Do not use this tool if actual free speed
exceeds the nameplate rpm.
•
Never exceed the rated rpm of tool.
•
Repeated prolonged operator exposure to
vibrations which may be generated in the use
of certain hand–held tools may produce
Raynaud’s phenomenon, commonly referred
to as Whitefinger disease. The phenomenon
produces numbness and burning sensations
in the hand and may cause circulation and
nerve damage as well as tissue necrosis.
Repetitive users of hand–held tool who
experience vibrations should closely monitor
duration of use and their physical condition.
•
When using a pad having a shank, insert the
shank to full depth in the collet. When using a
pad on a threaded arbor, make certain the
flange nut is tightened securely. Check the
tightness of the collet nut or flange nut before
operating a Sander to make certain it will not
loosen during operation.
