ARO 8446-B5 Mode D'emploi page 2

Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust and
•
particles created by power tool use.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known 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.
Be aware of buried, hidden or other hazards in your
•
work environment. Do not contact or damage cords,
conduits, pipes or hoses that may contain electrical
wires, explosive gases or harmful liquids.
Keep others a safe distance from your work area, or
•
ensure they use appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment.
Keep hands, loose clothing, long hair and jewelry
•
away from working end of tool.
Power tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
•
motions or uncomfortable positions may be harmful
to your hands and arms. Stop using any tool if
discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Seek
medical advice before resuming use.
Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not
•
overreach when operating this tool. Anticipate and be
alert for sudden changes in motion, reaction torques,
or forces during start up and operation.
Tool and/or accessories may briefly continue their
•
motion after throttle is released.
To avoid accidental starting - - ensure tool is in "off"
•
position before applying air pressure, avoid throttle
when carrying, and release throttle with loss of air.
Ensure work pieces are secure. Use clamps or vises to
•
hold work piece whenever possible.
The use of other than genuine ARO replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool performance, and
increased maintenance, and may invalidate all warranties.
Repairs should be made only by authorized trained personnel. Consult your nearest ARO Authorized Servicenter.

CAUTION
NOTICE
2
Do not carry or drag the tool by the hose.
Do not use power tools when tired, or under the
influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
Never use a damaged or malfunctioning tool or
accessory.
Do not modify the tool, safety devices, or accessories.
Do not use this tool for purposes other than those
recommended.
Use accessories recommended by ARO.
These Sanders will operate at the free speed specified
on the nameplate if the air supply line furnishes 90
psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) air pressure at the tool.
Operation at higher air pressure will result in
excessive speed.
Use only a sanding pad, buffing wheel or polishing
bonnet with these tools. Do not use any grinding
wheel, bur or metal removing accessory with these
tools. Never use an accessory having a maximum
operating speed less than the free speed of the Sander
in which it is being used.
Do not operate this Sander away from the work
surface.
Check for excessive speed and vibration before
operating.
Do not use this tool if the actual free speed exceeds the
nameplate rpm.
Never exceed the rated rpm of tool.
Repeated prolonged operator exposure to vibrations,
which may be generated in the use of certain
hand- -held tools, may produce Raynauds
phenomenon, commonly referred to as Whitefinger
disease. The phenomenon produces numbness and
burning sensations in the hand and may cause
circulation and nerve damage as well as tissue
necrosis. Repetitive users of hand- - held tools, who
experience vibrations, should closely monitor
duration of use and their physical condition.
When using a pad having a shank, insert the shank to
full depth in the collet. When using a pad on a
threaded arbor, make certain the flange nut is
tightened securely. Check the tightness of the collet
nut or flange nut before operating a Sander to make
certain it will not loosen during operation.
Always use the recommended guard, furnished with
the Sander.
