Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children, and do not allow people
unfamiliar with the Sander or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the Sander's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f.
Use the Sander and its accessories in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for this particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of
the Sander for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
4.
Service
a.
Have your Sander serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms
and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first
be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease should not use this
tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as
possible.
2.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and
fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different
processes.
5.
Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
