•
Secure work
with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical. This
safety precaution allows for proper sander operation using both hands.
•
Store idle air sanders.
When the air sander is not in use, store it in a dry, secure place out
of the reach of children. Inspect the air sander for good working condition prior to storage
and before re-use.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one air sander may create a risk of injury when used
on another air sander.
•
Keep guards in place
and in working order.
•
Never leave an air sander
running unattended.
•
USE COMPRESSED AIR ONLY.
Use clean, dry and regulated compressed air at no more
than 90 PSI to power this air sander. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or any other bottled
gas as a power source for this air sander.
•
Use proper size and type air pressure line and fittings
. The recommended air line for
this air sander is 3/8" delivering no more than 90 PSI. Recommended air inlet size is 1/4".
•
Make sure the hose
is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled hoses can cause loss of
balance or footing.
Note: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending
on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect air sander
performance.
Additional Safety Warnings
•
Repetitive motions or exposure to vibration may be harmful to your hands and arms.
•
When wearing gloves to operate the Oscillating Air Sander, make sure that the gloves do
not interfere with operating the trigger. Test your gloves with the trigger before attaching the
unit to an air source.
•
Never start the air sander unless you have a firm grip with both hands and you are
positioned at your workpiece or area.
•
Before using the air sander, know what is directly underneath the work area or workpiece.
•
The air sander can quickly penetrate material. If working directly on the ground, make sure
you are not directly above shallow cables, lines, or pipes.
•
Never point the air sander or the air hose (not included) at anyone.
•
Keep your finger away from the trigger until you are ready to work.
