2.0 AMP PALM SANDER 7

 SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

Additional safety warnings

•  Unplug the sander before changing accessories.

 Accidental start-ups may occur if 

sander is plugged in while changing an accessory.

•  Use clamps or other practical way 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.

•  Your tool is equipped with a dust canister, empty it frequently, after completion 

of sanding and before storing the sander. 

Be extremely careful of dust disposal, 

materials in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open 
fire. Combustion from mixture of varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with 
dust particles can occur if there is a static discharge, spark introduced in the box, or 
excessive heat.

•  Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when 

sanding overhead. 

Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily 

and may cause health complications.

•  Do not wet sand with this sander.

 Liquids entering the motor housing is an electrical 

shock hazard.

•  Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads. 

Larger sandpaper will 

extend beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back. 
Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.

•  Keep the cord away from the spinning pad and sandpaper. The cord can become 

entangled with the pad.

•  GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will 

further enhance your personal safety.

•  Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. 

While the tool may appear to 

work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard 
to the operator.

•  Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 

Slippery hands cannot safely 

control the power tool.
