SAFETY  INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  DRYWALL 

SANDERS

SAFETY  WARNINGS  COMMON  FOR  SANDING  OP-

ERATIONS

f

This power tool is intended to function as a sander. 

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations 

and  specifications  provided  with  this  power  tool. 

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may 

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

f

This power tool is not recommended for grinding, 

wire brushing, polishing or cutting off operations. 

Operations for which the power tool was not de

-

signed may create a hazard and cause personal 

injury.

f

Do  not  use  accessories  which  are  not  specifically 

designed and recommended by the tool manufac

-

turer. Just because the accessory can be attached 

to your power tool, it does not assure safe opera

-

tion.

f

The rated speed of the accessory must be at least 

equal to the maximum speed marked on the power 

tool. Accessories running faster than their rated 

speed can fly apart.

f

The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-

cessory must be within the capacity rating of your 

power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be 

adequately guarded or controlled.

f

Threaded mounting of accessories must match the 

grinder  spindle  thread.  For  accessories  mounted 

by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must 

fit the locating diameter of the flange. Accessories 

that do not match the mounting hardware of the 

power tool will run out of balance, vibrate exces

-

sively and may cause loss of control.

f

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use 

inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for 

chips  and  cracks,  backing  pads  for  cracks,  tear  or 

excess  wear,  wire  brushes  for  loose  or  cracked 

wires. If the power tool or accessory is dropped, 

inspect for damage or install an undamaged acces

-

sory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, 

position yourself and bystanders away from the 

plane of the rotating accessory and run the pow

-

er tool at maximum no load speed for one minute. 

Damaged  accessories  will  normally  break  apart 

during this test time.

f

Wear  personal  protective  equipment.  Depending 

on application, use face shield, safety goggles or 

safety  glasses.  As  appropriate,  wear  dust  mask, 

hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capa

-

ble  of  stopping  small  abrasive  or  workpiece  frag-

ments. The eye protection must be capable of 

stopping flying debris generated by various opera-

tions. The dust mask or respirator must be capable 

of filtrating particles generated by your operation. 

Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may 

cause hearing loss.

f

Keep  bystanders  a  safe  distance  away  from  work 

area.  Anyone  entering  the  work  area  must  wear 

personal protective equipment. Fragments of the 

workpiece  or  of  a  broken  accessory  may  fly  away 

and cause injury beyond the immediate area of 

operation.

f

Hold  power  tool  by  insulated  gripping  surfaces 

only, when performing an operation where the 

cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its 

own cord. A cutting accessory contacting a "live" 

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power 

tool "live" and could give the operator an electric 

shock.

f

Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. 

If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged 

and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spin

-

ning accessory.

f

Never lay the power tool down until the accessory 

has come to a complete stop. The spinning acces

-

sory may grab the surface and pull the power tool 

out of your control.

f

Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your 

side. Accidental contact with the spinning accesso

-

ry could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory 

into your body.

f

Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The mo-

tor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and 

excessive accumulation of powdered metal may 

cause electrical hazards.

f

Do not operate the power tool near flammable ma-

terials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

f

Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. 

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in 

electrocution or shock.

KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS

ƒ

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 accesso

-

ry’s rotation at the point of the binding.

ƒ

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/

or incorrect operating procedures or conditions 

and can be avoided by taking proper precautions 

as given below

f

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.

f

Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. 

The accessory may kickback over your hand.

f

Do not position your body in the area where power 

tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will pro-

pel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s 

movement at the point of snagging.

f

Use special care when working corners, sharp edg-

es 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.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR SANDING OP-

ERATIONS 

f

When  sanding,  do  not  use  excessively  oversized 

sanding  disc  paper.  Follow  the  manufacturers’ 

recommendations when selecting sanding paper. 

Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sand
