RANDOM ORBITAL SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when
sanding, especially sanding overhead.
■ A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while
sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid
breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air. Contact with
or inhalation of dust produced from these materials can
endanger the health of operator and bystanders.
■ Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire because
materials in fine particle form may be explosive.
■ Do not use the product for wet sanding.
■ Do not use sanding paper larger than needed. Extra
paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also
cause serious lacerations.
■ When not in use, all tools should be disconnected from
power source.
■ Caution, fire hazard! Avoid overheating the object being
sanded as well as the sander. Always empty the dust
collector before taking breaks.
■ Protect the battery against heat (e.g., continuous
intense sunlight and fire), water, and moisture.
■ Properly dispose of dropped or damaged battery
immediately.
■ Clamp workpiece with
Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and
damage. Do not hold the material you are sanding by
hand.
■ Do not apply excessive pressure to the product.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk
factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:
■ Injury caused by dust
NOTE: Using the product will produce considerable
amount of dust and fine particles. Use the dust collection
device or connect a dust extraction vacuum when
operating the product. Wear dust masks containing
filters appropriate to the materials being worked on.
Ensure adequate workplace ventilation. Do not eat,
drink or smoke in the work area.
■ Injury caused by noise and vibration
NOTE: Wear ear protection during the sanding
operation. Do not operate the product for long periods
of time. See "Risk reduction".
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fingers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
