GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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

• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

• 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.

• Replace worn CFS disc when it causes high tool rpm. High tool rpm caused by a worn out

CFS disc may result in separation of sanding pad from the sander, possibly causing personal

injury. for instructions on replacing the CFS disc, see the section of this manual titled “Tool Care.”

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

• 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.

ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use

face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with

soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote

absorption of harmful chemicals.

Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6

(S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may

contribute to hearing loss.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women. 2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint: PERSONAL SAFETY 1.

. 4. Avoid overloading your sander. Overloading will result in a considerable reduction in speed and finish quality of your work. The unit may also become hot. In this event, run sander at a no load condition for a minute or two. If you wrap the cord around the tool when you store it, leave a generous loop of cord such that the strain relief does not bend. This helps prevent premature cord failure. BRUSH REPLACEMENT (FIG. 9, 10) Follow these directions to replace the tool’s brushes: 1.

3. Éviter de surcharger la ponceuse. Une surcharge entraîne une réduction considérable de la vitesse et de la qualité de la finition du travail. La ponceuse peut devenir chaude. Si cela se produit, la faire fonctionner sans charge pendant une minute ou deux. 4. Si on enroule le cordon autour de l’outil durant l’entreposage, il faut prévoir une grande boucle afin de ne pas plier le réducteur de tension. Cela aide à prévenir l’usure prématurée du cordon.
