Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding 

operations

 a) 

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.

Safety Warnings Specific for 

Polishing operations

 a) 

Do not allow any loose portion of the 

polishing bonnet or its attachment strings 

to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose 

attachment strings.

 Loose and spinning 

attachment strings can entangle your fingers or 

snag on the workpiece.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire 

Brushing operations

 a) 

Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by 

the brush even during ordinary operation. 

Do not overstress the wires by applying 

excessive load to the brush.

 The wire bristles 

can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

 b) 

If the use of a guard is recommended for 

wire brushing, do not allow any interference 

of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. 

Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter 

due to work and centrifugal forces.

residual risks

In spite of the application of the relevant safety 

regulations and the implementation of safety 

devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided. 

These are.

  –  Impairment of hearing.
  –  Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
  –  Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot 

during operation.

  –  Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
