ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1.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.

2.Use proper safety equipment. Wear safety goggles for eye protection, wear hearing protection, and wear a protective mask to minimize breathing in the fine dust created while sanding.

3.Always disconnect the sander cord plug from the power circuit before changing abrasive sheets. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4.Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. Lead-based paint should only be removed by a professional.

5.Always maintain a firm grip on the sander handles with both hands to prevent loss of control.

6.Do not operate sander without all guards and covers securely in place.

7.Wear eye and hearing protection. Always use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19 standards.

8. Use of this tool can generate and disburse dust or other airborne particles, including wood dust, crystalline silica dust and asbestos dust. Direct particles away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease), cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
