ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Safety Warnings Common for Sanding
Operations
a ) This power tool is intended to function as a sander.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b ) Do not convert this power tool to operate in a way
which is not specifically designed and specified by
the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in
a loss of control and cause serious personal injury.
c ) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and specified by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d ) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
e ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f ) The dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit
the dimensions of the mounting hardware of the
power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
g ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. If power tool
or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting
and installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum
no‑load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this test time.
h ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying
debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
32
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
i ) 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.
j ) 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.
k ) 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.
l ) 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.
m ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
n ) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
FURTHER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL
OPERATIONS
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 accessory which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of
the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, 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 tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
a ) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start up. The operator can control torque reaction
or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b ) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c ) Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
