and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the
workpiece.
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 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 (CCA).
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 disburse 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 use eye protection.
All users and bystanders must wear eye
protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1.
WARNING: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during use.
Under
some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
o.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite
these materials.
p.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad,
brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in
the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
a.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to
allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up.
The
operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
b.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback
over your hand.
c.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
d.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a.
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:
a.
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment
strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.
