3.RANDOM ORBITAL SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the sanding pad may contact its own
cord. Sanding a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
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 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, cement and other masonry products, and;
. Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approvedsafety equipment,,such
as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
