i. Only use safety equipment that has been

approved by an appropriate standards agency.
Unapproved safety equipment may not provide
adequate protection. Eye protection must be
ANSI-approved and breathing protection
must be NIOSH-approved for the
specific hazards in the work area.

j. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to

a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.

k. When using a handheld power tool,

maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands to resist starting torque.

l. Do not leave the tool unattended when the

Battery Pack is connected. Turn off the tool,
and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.

m. This product is not a toy.

Keep it out of reach of children.

n. People with pacemakers should

consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to
heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker
interference or pacemaker failure.

o. The warnings, precautions, and instructions

discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

l. The battery Charger gets hot during

use. The Charger’s heat can build
up to unsafe levels and create a fire

hazard if it does not receive
adequate ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or
if it is used in a hot environment. Do not place
the Charger on a flammable surface. Do not
obstruct any vents on the Charger.

9. !"+(,$"&8%E,2*$V

This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:

a. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for

an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical
check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant
women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness,
and white or blue fingers), seek medical
advice as soon as possible.

b. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces

the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

c. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the

vibration effects on the user.

d. Use tools with the lowest vibration

when there is a choice.

e. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.

f. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping

safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.

g. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as

explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

back of the Sander. Push the Dust Box fully
onto the Dust Chute using firm pressure until the
Locking Tabs snap into place in the Tab Slots.

2. The collection of the dust will only work if the
sandpaper has holes that line up with the 8 dust
collection holes in the Backing Pad. There are
4 other holes in the Backing Pad for the Screws
that attach the Backing Pad to the Sander.
