Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding

Operations:

a ) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc

paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations

when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding

paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a

laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of

the disc orkickback.

power tool. Accessories running faster than their

RATED SPEED can break and flyapart.

e ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your

accessory must be within the capacity rating of

your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot

be adequately guarded orcontrolled.

f ) Threaded mounting of accessories must match

the grinder spindle thread. For accessories

mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the

accessory must fit the locating diameter of the

flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting

hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,

vibrate excessively and may cause loss ofcontrol.

g ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each

use inspect the backing pad for cracks, tear

or excess wear. If power tool or accessory is

dropped, inspect for damage or install an

undamaged accessory. After inspecting and

installing an accessory, position yourself and

bystanders away from the plane of the rotating

accessory and run the power tool at maximum

no-load speed for one minute. Damaged

accessories will normally break apart during this

testtime.

h ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending

on application, use face shield, safety goggles or

safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,

hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron

capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece

fragments. The eye protection must be capable

of stopping flying debris generated by various

operations. The dust mask or respirator must

be capable of filtrating particles generated by

your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity

noise may cause hearingloss.

i ) 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.

j ) Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the

power tool out of yourcontrol.

k ) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at

your side. Accidental contact with the spinning

accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the

accessory into yourbody.

l ) 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hazards.

m ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable

materials. Sparks could ignite thesematerials.

n ) Do not use accessories that require liquid

coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may

result in electrocution orshock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged

rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.

Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating

accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to

be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation

at the point of thebinding.

For example, if a backing pad is snagged or pinched by the

workpiece, the edge of the pad that is entering into the pinch

point can dig into the surface of the material causing the

wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump

toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of

the wheel’s movement at the point ofpinching.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect

operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by

taking proper precautions as givenbelow.

a ) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and

position your body and arm to allow you to resist

kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if

provided, for maximum control over kickback or

torque reaction during start-up. The operator can

control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper

precautions aretaken.

b ) Never place your hand near the rotating

accessory. Accessory may kickback over yourhand.

c ) Do not position your body in the area where

power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback

will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s

movement at the point ofsnagging.

d ) Use special care when working corners, sharp

edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the

accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have

a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause

loss of control orkickback.

e ) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades

create frequent kickback and loss ofcontrol.
