Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
"ON" or "OFF". Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in a
dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
Safety Rules for Orbital Sanders
Unplug the sander before changing
accessories. Accidental start-ups may
occur if sander is plugged in while changing
an accessory.
Your tool is equipped with a dust
canister, empty it frequently, after
completion of sanding and before storing
the sander. Be extremely careful of dust
disposal, materials in fine particle form may
be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on
an open fire. Combustion from mixture of
varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or
water with dust particles can occur if there is
a static discharge, spark introduced in the
box, or excessive heat.
Always wear eye and respiratory
protection for dusty applications and
when sanding overhead. Sanding particles
can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled
easily and may cause health complications.

serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop a
periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.
Use
only
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Use special precautions when sanding
chemically pressure treated lumber, 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 area
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 is 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.
