conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
►
To reduce the risk of serious injury, never alter or misuse the
power tool.
Service
►
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.
Specific Safety Rules for Sanders
►
Know the material you are sanding and take precautions
accordingly. Some materials contain chemicals, elements,
or fibers which may be toxic or harmful when abraded. Take
caution to prevent dust or vapor inhalation and skin contact.
►
Always perform sanding in a well ventilated area and use
personal respiratory protection.
►
Do not use in wet environments. Ingestion of water into the
motor may result in electrocution hazard.
►
Do not use the sander if the sanding pad fails to retain the
sanding disk. Replace the sanding pad. A loose sanding disk
can come free and cause personal injury.
►
Take care when disposing of fine sanding dust. Fine particle
dust may become explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an
open flame.
►
Never sand materials containing asbestos.
Respiratory Exposure Safety Warnings
Substantial or repeated inhalation of dust and other airborne
contaminants, in particular those with a smaller particle size,
may cause respiratory or other illnesses. Various dusts created
by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construc-
tion activities contain chemicals or substances known (to the
State of California and others) to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals/
substances are: lead from lead-based paints; crystalline silica
from bricks, cement, and other masonry products; arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber; and some wood
dusts, especially from hardwoods, but also from some soft-
woods such as Western Red Cedar.
The 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 use a properly
functioning dust extraction system. When the inhalation of
dust cannot be substantially controlled, i.e., kept at or near the
ambient (background) level, the operator and any bystanders
should wear a respirator approved by NIOSH for the type of
dust encountered.
