ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SANDING OPERATIONS
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS 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 load and centrifugal
forces.
