Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations
a ) Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturer's recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending too far
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations
a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b ) Guard must be used for wire brushing, do not allow
any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the
guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to
work and centrifugal forces.
c ) Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
and a full face shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1 MUST
be worn by the operator and others that are within 50'
(15.2 m) of the use of this product.
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.
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.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from
this product may contribute to hearing loss.
• 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.
Direct particles away from face and body.
• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
6
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to the
operator and those in close proximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control and injury.
• Always use auxiliary handle. Tighten the handle securely.
The auxiliary handle should always be used to maintain control
of the tool at all times.
• To prevent the spindle end from contacting the bottom
of the hole of the hubbed wheel, use accessories that
have a threaded hole depth of at least 21 mm. Failure to
use an accessory with the appropriate thread depth could result
in damage to the hubbed wheel and injury to the operator or
persons in the area.
• The arbor size of hubbed wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle
of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of
balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
• Avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment.
If this occurs, stop the tool and inspect the wheel for cracks
or flaws.
• Always handle and store wheels in a careful manner.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause
permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to
provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily
time of use.
• Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a
full face shield compliant with ANSI Z87.1 MUST be worn
by the operator and others that are within 50' (15.2 m) of
the use of this product.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on a
stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling
hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright
on the battery pack but may be easily knocked over.
