Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories or
storing the power tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidently.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits ect. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have the power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings For Sanding Operations
1. This power tool is intended to function as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, or personal injury.
2. Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off, are not recommended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
3. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
4. The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
5. The outside diameter and thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guard or controlled.
6. The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor
holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
7. Do not use damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for chips or cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting or installing an accessory, position yourself or bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break
apart during this time.
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.
