Machine-specific safety notices
This power tool is intended to function as a
–
sander with abrasive. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Do not use accessories which are not spe
–
cifically designed and specified by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does
not assure safe operation.
–
The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capaci
ty rating of your power tool. Incorrectly
sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
–
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasives for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, in
8
spect for damage or install an undamaged
accessory.
–
Wear personal protective equipment. De
pending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As ap
propriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capa
ble of stopping small abrasive or work
piece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris gener
ated by various operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Pro
longed exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
–
Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
–
surfaces, because the sanding surface
may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the opera
tor an electric shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning ac
–
cessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm
may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the
–
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the sur
face and pull the power tool out of your
control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it
–
at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your cloth
ing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents.
–
The motor's fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical haz
ards.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
–
coolants. Using water or other liquid cool
ants may result in electrocution or shock.
