DRYWALL SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

DRYWALL SANDER SAFETY

1. This equipment should never be used in sur-

roundings in an explosive or flammable atmo-

sphere.

2. Do not let the cable touch any parts of your body.

3. Do not force the machine to do a job that is not 

intended such as rough grinding, brushing, etc.

4. Only use identical replacement parts when ser-

vicing the drywall sander.

5. Accessories need to be rated at a minimum of 

2450 RPM. Do not use accessories rated at speeds 

below the machine’s maximum RPM.

6. Never use damaged accessories. Always check 

whether accessories are nicked or cracked prior to 

operation; in particular, the grinding pad support 

plate. Run the machine at maximum speed for one 

minute in order to test accessories before using 

them to sand anything. Make sure bystanders stand 

clear during this testing phase.

7. Do not put down the machine until the pad’s rota-

tion has completely stopped.

8. Regularly clean your machine’s exhaust/dust 

port.

9. Do not use sandpaper larger than the recom-

mended size (9 inches).

10. Only use one extension tube at a time.

11. Always allow for reaction torque.

WARNING!

 Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules. 

Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
