General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions

Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust

or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not

use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault

circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.

Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric

shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used

for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or

a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in

moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.

The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these

instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be

performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional Specific Safety Rules

• Do not sand metal of any kind with your sander.

Sparks may be generated by sanding

screws, nails or other metals which may ignite dust particles.

• Do not wet sand with this sander.

Liquids may enter the motor housing and cause electric

shock.

•

Empty dust collection system frequently, especially when sanding resin-coated

surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish, shellac, etc.

Dispose of coated dust particles

according to the finish manufacturer’s guidelines, or place in a metal can with a tight fitting

metal lid. Remove coated dust particles from the premises daily. The accumulation of fine

sanding dust particles may self ignite and cause fire.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.

Vibration caused by the operating action

of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra

cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

•

Sanding of lead-based paint, chemically pressure treated lumber or other materials

that may contain carcinogens is not recommended.

Sanding of these materials should

only be performed by a professional.

•

Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use.

Dust and grit containing metal

particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric

shock or electrocution.

ALWAYS

disconnect the sander from the power source before

cleaning.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES

that conform to ANSI Z87.1.

•

ALWAYS DISCONNECT TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE CHANGING

ABRASIVE SHEETS.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

•

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for

safety.

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that

is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line

voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to

make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum

wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge

number, the heavier the cord.
