Using A Palm Sander Continued

9) When using the tool, always adopt a firm footing and/or position

 

and grip the tool firmly to counteract any forces or reaction

 

forces that may be generated while using the tool.

10) Use only genuine Dewalt spare parts or parts which perform

 

equivalently. Do not make temporary or permanent repairs with

 

unauthorized parts.

11)

Do not lock, tape, wire, etc., the on/off trigger in the run

 

position. The trigger must always be free to return to

 

the “off” position when it is released.

12)

Always shut off the air supply to the tool and depress the

 

trigger to release air from the feed hose before fitting,

 

adjusting or removing the working attachment.

13)

Check hoses and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if

 

necessary. Do not carry the tool by its hose. Ensure the

 

hand is removed from the on/off trigger when carrying

 

the tool with the air supply connected.

14) Take care against entanglement of moving tool parts

 

with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will

 

cause the body to be drawn towards the tool and can

 

be very dangerous.

15)

Safe working practices and observe all relevant legal

 

requirements when installing, using or maintaining the tool.

16)

Only install the tool when an easily accessible and easily

 

operable on/off switch is incorporated in the air supply.

17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not

 

cause problems or blow onto another person.

18)

Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has

 

stopped moving.

19)

Always begin sanding with sandpaper coarse enough to

 

remove high spots on the surface to be sanded.

PRE-START CHECKLIST

Drain water from air compressor tank and condensation from air lines. (Please refer to air compressor’s operation manual.)

Lubricate the tool.(Please refer to the “Maintenance” section

in the manual.)

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose with hand when installing or disconnenting to prevent hose whip.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacture’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator output pressure must never exceed the maximun pressure rating.

NOTE: The use of a quick connect set makes connecting easier

IMPORTANT:The use of air filters and air line lubricators is recommended.

SANDER PAD ASSEMBLY
