ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS FOR CHARGER & BATTERY PACK
Specific Safety Rules
CAUTION: Remove all nails, staples, fasteners, foreign objects or other debris before sanding.
Never sand over these objects.
Never use the sander without a sanding disc attached. Damage to the work piece and sander
could result.
Start and stop the sander before contacting the work piece. Allow the weight of the tool to do
most of the work. In most cases additional pressure will not be required. Move the sander
evenly over the work surface maintaining constant motion. Prolonged operation in one location
can cause uneven surfaces.
For best results change sandpaper frequently and never use the sander without sandpaper or
damage to the base could result.
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.
