High noise levels can cause hearing damage.
Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems such as tinnitus. Therefore, the
risk assessment and implementation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential. Appropriate controls to reduce the
risk can include actions such as damping materials to prevent the workpiece from ringing. Use hearing protection in accordance
with employer’s instructions and as required by occupational health and safety regulations. Keep tool maintained to prevent an
increase in noise and vibration. Replace and maintain the inserted tool to prevent an increase in noise. Ensure that the sander
muffler is still installed each time you use it. Significant increases of noise during operation of the sander may indicate damage.
The sander should be reviewed for damage.

in the instruction handbook, to prevent unnecessary increases in vibration levels. Replace the tool as recommended in the
instruction handbook to prevent increase in vibration. Hold the tools with a light, but safe grip taking account of the required
hand-reaction forces. Significant increases of vibration during operation of the sander indicate damage. The sander and inserted
tool should be reviewed for damage if vibration increases.
