Sander safety warnings
Safety warnings common for sanding with sandpa-
per and fibre wheels, wire brushing, polishing op
-
erations with felt wheels, polishing sponges, lamb-
swool pads and felt wheels with flange:
а) This power tool is intended to function as a
sander and polisher or machine for cleaning
surfaces with a wire brush. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and speci-
fications provided with this power tool.
Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as cutting-off are not recom-
mended to be performed with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool was not de-
signed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
▪ Never mount circular blades or grinding
wheels for angle grinders.
▪ Use only accessories appropriate for the pro
-
cessed material and the rotation speed.
d) Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For acces-
sories 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 excessively and may cause loss of
control.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing
pads or any other accessory must properly
fit the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories
with arbour 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.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each
use inspect the accessory such as abrasive
wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for
loose or cracked wires. If power tool or acces-
sory is dropped, inspect for damage or install
an undamaged accessory. After inspecting
and installing an accessory, position yourself
and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Dam-
aged accessories will normally break apart during
this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, use face shield, safety gog-
gles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear
dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. 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.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work
whenever possible.
▪ Do not apply side pressure to stop the pad ro
-
tation after switching the machine off.
▪ Guide the machine towards the processed ma
-
terial only if the machine is switched on.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-
sory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into
the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the ac-
cessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
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.
