MOUSE SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!

 Do not operate the power tool until you have read and understood the following instructions and 

the warning labels. 

MOUSE SANDER SAFETY

1. Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping sur-

faces, especially when performing an operation where 

the accessory could contact hidden wiring. 
2. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask during 

operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of seri-

ous respiratory injury.
3. Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during 

extended periods of operation. Following this rule will 

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
4. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, 

determine that it will operate properly and perform its in-

tended function. Check for alignment, binding or break-

age of moving parts or any other conditions that may af-

fect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged 

should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized 

service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of 

shock, fire, or serious injury.
5. Remove all nails from lumber before using this tool. 

Following this rule will reduce the risk of injury.
6. Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and 

use them to instruct others who may use this product. If 

you loan someone this product, loan them these instruc-

tions also.
7. Do not use the sander to remove lead-based paints.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

  masonry products 

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated

  lumber.
To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area 

and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks 

that are specially designed to filter out microscopic par-
ticles.

VIBRATION SAFETY

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term 

exposure to vibration may cause temporary or perma-

nent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and 

shoulders.

To reduce the risk of any vibration-related injury:

1. First be examined by a doctor and then have regular 

medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not 

being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or 

people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, 

past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, 

or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you 

feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, 

numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical ad-

vice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood 

supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of 

vibration-related injury.
3. Wear gloves to reduce vibration effects on user.
4. Use tools with lowest vibration when able to.
5. Take vibration-free breaks during each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe 

control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in 

this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use 

immediately.
