SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
SANDERS
•
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface
coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil,
etc. can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or
elsewhere and cause fire.
To reduce the risk of fire
always empty the dust bag frequently (10-15 minutes)
while sanding and never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the
recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, when
working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools.
It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
•
Maintain labels and nameplates.
These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
•
WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
