SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eye glasses are NOT safety

glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR

CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• Clean your tool out periodically.

•

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•

lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote

absorption of harmful chemicals.

• When using an extension cord, be

sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows

the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

OTHER IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

LEAD BASED PAINT

Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.

Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:

PERSONAL SAFETY

• No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.

• A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.

NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be

used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.

• NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would

settle on them.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.

• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.

• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.

CLEANING AND DISPOSAL

• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.

• Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area.

• All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Shock hazard. Under no circumstances should this product be used near water.

WARNING: Risk of lacerations or burns. Do not touch work piece or accessory

immediately after operating the tool. They can become very hot. Handle carefully. Always allow accessories and work piece to cool before handling.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn off and remove battery from tool or disconnect

plug from power source before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories. Remove any accessory from the attachment before removing or installing the attachment. NOTE: Refer to Power Unit instruction manual before operating this tool for all safety warnings

and details on installing and removing attachments.

SANDING

Your tool is equipped with a teardrop base which allows you to use it on large flat surfaces and tight spots or corners. The pad tips may wear unevenly, depending on use. The pads are designed to allow you to interchange and /or rotate the diamond tip.

• To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch. The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch.

• To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.

NOTE: This attachment only operates in the forward direction, the forward/reverse slider of the

Power Unit should not be able to be switched to reverse.

NOTE: Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in long sweeping strokes across

the surface, letting it do the work. Light pressure is all that is required for sanding. Excessive pressure will slow the tool and produce inferior results. Check your work often, product is capable of removing material rapidly. Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sanding sheet regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency.

NOTE: Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any

movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.

Attaching and removing sanding sheets (Figure A)

The sanding attachment uses pre-cut sanding sheets.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn off and remove

battery from tool or disconnect plug from power source before or removing sanding sheets.

• Turn off and remove batttery or disconnect tool from power source.

• To attach a sanding sheet, line it up with the sanding base as shown.

• Press the sheet firmly and evenly onto the sanding base.

• To remove the sheet, pull it off the sanding pad.

NOTE: Never use the sanding attachment without a sanding

sheet or accessory in place. Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces, and fine grit for the finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material. Allowing the sandpaper to wear away will damage the sanding pad.

TIP OF THE SANDING BASE (FIGURE B)

• When the sanding base tip is worn, it can be reversed or replaced.

• Reverse or replace the worn part.

WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal surfaces, do not

use a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.

HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE

• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.

• Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.

• Always sand with the grain of the wood.

• When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.

• On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish.

• Consult your retailer for more information on available accessories for sanding, polishing, stripping and scrubbing.
