DETAIL SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the sanding pad may
contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device
with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
Unplug the sander before changing accessories.
Accidental start-ups may occur if
the sander is plugged in while changing an accessory.
Disposing of dust.
Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle form
may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Spontaneous
combustion, may in time, result from a mixture of oil or water with dust particles.
Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when
sanding overhead.
Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily
and may cause health complications.
Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure treated timber, paint
that may be lead based, or any other materials that may contain carcinogens.
A
suitable breathing respirator and protective clothing must be worn by all persons
entering the work area. Work should be sealed by plastic sheeting and persons not
protected should be kept out until work area is thoroughly cleaned.
Do not ‘wet sand’ with this sander.
Liquids entering the motor housing are an
electrical shock hazard.
Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads.
Larger sandpaper will
extend beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back.
Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.
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 paints
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber
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 dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
