capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece

stopping flying debris generated by various operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
d ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
e ) 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.
f ) 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.
g ) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
h ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
i ) Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Sanding
Lead Base 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
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.
