•
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may
cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use
gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods,
and limit daily time of use.
•
Do not restart the cutting operation in the work
piece. Let the tool reach full speed and carefully re‑enter
the cut.
•
Do not "jam" the saw blade or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut.
•
Keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach
under the material being cut.
•
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blade can
break easily or cause kickback. Exercise extreme caution
when handling the accessories. The accessories are very
sharp. Wear protective gloves when changing cutting
accessories. Accessories become hot after prolonged usage.
•
Before scraping, check work piece for nails. If there are
nails, either remove them or set them well below intended
finished surface. Striking a nail with accessory edge could
cause the tool to jump.
•
Do not wet sand with this tool. Liquids entering the
motor housing are an electrical shock hazard.
•
Never work in area which is soaked with a liquid, such
as a solvent or water, or dampened such as newly
applied wallpaper. There is an electrical shock hazard
when working in such conditions with a power tool and
heating of the liquid caused by scraping action may cause
harmful vapors to be emitted from work piece.
•
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.
Specific Safety Warnings and
Instructions: Sanders
Sanding Lead Based Paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due
to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the
following precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal safety
•
No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean
up is completed.
•
A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily
or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.
nOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead
paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting
6
masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware
dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.
•
NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle on them.
Environmental safety
•
Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dust generated.
•
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
•
Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the work area.
Cleaning and Disposal
•
All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
•
Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick‑up procedures
During clean up, children and pregnant women should
be kept away from the immediate work area.
•
All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
should be washed thoroughly before being used again.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California 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.
