SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding, especially sanding over-head. Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations. 2 English ASSEMBLY assembly in the blower exhaust on the sander. WARNING The tool should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury. SANDING DISC SELECTION Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding. In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. [. . . ] Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc. SYMBOL Safety Alert V Hz WARNING Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials.
