To reduce the risks associated with impact from abrasive product, pad, or tool breakup, sharp edges, hazardous pressure, rupture, vibration and noise:
• Read, understand and follow the safety information contained in these instructions prior to the use of this tool. Retain these instructions for future reference.
• Only personnel who are properly trained should be allowed to service this tool.
• Practice safety requirements. Work alert, have proper attire, and do not operate tools under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Operators and other personnel must always wear protection for eyes, ears, and respiratory protection when in the work area or while operating this
product. Follow your employer's safety policy for PPE's and/or ANSI Z87.1 or local/national standards for eyewear and other personal protective equipment
requirements.
• Wear protective apparel, taking into consideration the type of work being done.
• On overhead work, wear a safety helmet.
• Never exceed marked maximum input pressure (90psi / .62Mpa / 6.2Bars).
• Proper eye protection must be worn at all times.
• Tool is not to be operated in the presence of bystanders.
• If you notice any abnormal noise or vibration when operating the tool, immediately discontinue its use and inspect for worn or damaged components. Correct
or replace the suspect component. If abnormal noise or vibration still exists, return the tool to 3M for repair or replacement. Refer to warranty instructions.
• Do not modify this sander or polisher. Modifications may reduce the effectiveness of safety measures and increase the risks to the operator.
• Never operate this tool without all safety features in place and in proper working order.
• Never over-ride or disable the safety features of the start-stop control such that it is in the on position.
• Make sure the tool is disconnected from its air source before servicing, inspecting, maintaining, cleaning, and before changing abrasive product.
• Prior to use, inspect abrasive product and accessories for possible damage. If damaged, replace with new abrasive product and accessories available from 3M.
• Only use accessories supplied or recommended by 3M.
• Never allow this tool to be used by children or other untrained people.
• Do not leave an unattended tool connected to air source.
• Immediately discontinue use of tool if its noise reduction muffler system has been damaged or is otherwise not functioning properly. Have tool repaired before
placing back into use.
To reduce the risks associated with vibration:
• If any physical hand/wrist discomfort is experienced, work should be stopped promptly to seek medical attention. Hand, wrist and arm injury may result from
repetitive work, motion and overexposure to vibration.
To reduce the risks associated with loud noise:
• Unprotected exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling, hearing loss and other problems such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or
humming in the ears).
• Always wear hearing protection while operating this tool. Follow your employer's safety policy or local/national standards for personal protective equipment
requirements.
To reduce the risks associated with fire or explosion:
• Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The abrasives are able to create sparks when
working material, resulting in the ignition of the flammable dust or fumes.
• Refer to MSDS of material being worked as to potential for creating fire or explosion hazard.
To reduce the risks associated with hazardous dust ingestion or eye/skin exposure:
• Dusts and fumes generated when using sanders and polishers can cause ill health (for example: cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); risk
assessment of these hazards and implementation of appropriate controls of is essential.
• Risk assessment should include dust created by the use of the tool and the potential for disturbing existing dust.
• Operate and maintain the sander or polisher as recommended in these instructions, to minimise dust or fume emissions.
• Direct the exhaust so as to minimise disturbance of dust in a dust filled environment.
• Where dusts or fumes are created, the priority shall be to control them at the point of emission.
• All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or suppression of airborne dust or fumes should be correctly used and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in dust or fumes.
• Use respiratory protection as instructed by your employer and as required by occupational health and safety regulations.
• Use appropriate respiratory and skin protection, or local exhaust as stated in the MSDS of the material being worked on.
To reduce the risks associated with hazardous voltage:
• Do not allow this tool to come into contact with electrical power sources as the tool is not insulated against electrical shock.
To reduce the risks associated with skin abrasion, burns, cuts, or entrapment:
• Keep hands, hair, and clothing away from the rotating part of the tool.
• Wear suitable protective gloves while operating tool.
• Do not touch the rotating parts during operation for any reason.
• Do not force tool or use excessive force when using tool.
To reduce the risks associated with whipping or hazardous pressure-rupture:
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall be installed and whipcheck safety cables shall be used to safeguard against
possible hose to tool and hose to hose connection failure.
• Ensure supply hose is oil resistant and is properly rated for required working pressure.
• Do not use tools with loose or damaged air hoses or fittings.
• Be aware that incorrectly installed hoses and fittings might unexpectedly come loose at any time and create a whipping/impact hazard.
To reduce the risks associated with fly off of abrasive product or parts:
• Use care in attaching abrasive product and pad; following the instructions to ensure that they are securely attached to the tool before use.
• Never free speed the tool or otherwise allow it to be started unintentionally.
• Never point this product in the direction of yourself or another person, or start tool unintentionally.
• Never over-tighten accessory fasteners.
