h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 °F (129 °C) may cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
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
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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust
to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory
protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face and body.
