be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR KICKBACK
1. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. ALWAYS use the auxiliary handle, if
provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during
start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
2. NEVER place your hand near the sanding pad. It may kickback over your
hand.
3. DO NOT position your body in the area where power tool will move if
kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to
the sanding pads movement at the point of snagging.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing
and snagging the sanding pad. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or
kickback.
DUST EXTRACTION
The dry wall sander is provided with a dust extraction facility. Please note
however, that this does not preclude the user from wearing a face mask to
prevent the inhalation of dust particles. All safety wear must be worn.
WARNING: KICKBACK IS A SUDDEN REACTION TO A PINCHED OR
SNAGGED ROTATING WHEEL, BACKING PAD, BRUSH OR ANY OTHER
ACCESSORY. PINCHING OR SNAGGING CAUSES RAPID STALLING OF THE
ROTATING ACCESSORY WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE UNCONTROLLED
POWER TOOL TO BE FORCED IN THE DIRECTION OPPOSITE OF THE
ACCESSORY'S ROTATION AT THE POINT OF THE BINDING.
WARNING: KICKBACK IS THE RESULT OF POWER TOOL MISUSE AND/OR
INCORRECT OPERATING PROCEDURES OR CONDITIONS AND CAN BE
AVOIDED BY TAKING PROPER PRECAUTIONS AS GIVEN BELOW.
