sanding overhead.
Sanding particles can be
absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily
and may cause health complications.
Do not wet sand with this sander.
Liquids
entering the motor housing is an electrical
shock hazard.
Do not use PSA pad on random orbit
sanders whose speed exceeds
12,000/min.
Exceeding the maximum
operating speed of pad may cause pad to
rupture or fly apart during use striking user or
bystanders.
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.
Clamp or secure workpiece when
sanding.
Clamping the workpiece prevents
it from being ejected from under the sander
and leaves both hands to control the tool.
Keep the cord away from the spinning
pad and sandpaper.
The cord can become
entangled with the pad.
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, 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.
