debris generated by various applications. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by the particular application. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
9.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of work piece or
a broken accessory mayfly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
10. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you loose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your arm or hand may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
11. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of
your control.
12. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
13. Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation may cause electrical hazards.
14. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
15. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
16. Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending too far
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
17. The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not match
the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
18. Risk of explosion. Floor sanding can result in an explosive mixture of fine dust and air. Use floor sanding machine only in a well-ventilated area free from any
flame or match.
Kickback and Related Warnings
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 backing pad which in turn causes uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite direction of the backing pad's rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface
of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
1.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handles, if provided for
maximum control over kickback or torque reactions during start up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
2.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory 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 wheel's
movement at the point of the snagging.
4.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
5.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Additional Rules For Safe Operation
1.
Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust collection receiver unattended. Always empty in a non-
combustible metal container. Sanding wood or varnish produces dust that can self ignite and cause injury or damage. Follow this precaution for storage.
2.
Set all exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away from work area. Do not strike metal pipes, ect., with sanding paper. Striking metal or abrasive particles
with sanding paper produces sparks that could ignite the sanding dust which can cause injury or damage.
3.
Do not operate a partially assemble power tool. Keep all adjustments within manufacturer's specifications. Keep all fasteners tight. Operating a partially
assembled power tool could result in injury to the operator or bystander and could cause damage to the equipment or surroundings.
4.
Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while the power tool is running. The sanding pad can snag clothing and cause injury to limbs and moving
sanding paper can cause abrasions.
5.
The power tool should only be used on an electrical system (mains) that is rated for the electrical requirements of the power tool as shown on the nameplate.
Use only on an earthing (grounded) system. Do not service the power tool if it is energized or connected to an electrical circuit. Improper use could cause fire
or electric shock.
