IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

General

To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons, read all the instructions before using the tool.

Work Area

1. Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.

2. Do not operate the tool in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

The tool is able to create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and

visitors away while operating the tool.

Distractions are able to result in the loss of control of the tool.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or

long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure

the switch is off before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the tool with

your finger on the switch or connect the tool to the air supply with the switch on.

Tool Use and Care

4. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a

key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increases the risk of personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment.

A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.

7. Always wear eye protection.

Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

8. Always wear hearing protection

when using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause hearing loss.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

1. Use clamps or another practical way

to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work

by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.

3. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4. Disconnect the tool from the air source

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally. Turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before leaving the work area.

5. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach

of children and other untrained persons.

A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6. Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced

before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

7. Use only accessories that are identified

by the manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of an accessory not

intended for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.

Specific Safety Instructions

1. This air tool is intended to function as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this air tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

2. Operations such as grinding, wire brushing

or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this air tool. Operations

for which the air tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

3. Do not use accessories which are not

specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because

the accessory can be attached to your air tool, it does not assure safe operation.

4. The rated speed of the accessory must

be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the air tool. Accessories

running faster than their RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.

5. The outside diameter and the thickness

of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your air tool.

Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

6. The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing

pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the air tool.

Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the air tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

7. Do not use a damaged accessory.

Before each use inspect the accessory for tears and the backing pad for cracks, tears or excess wear. If air tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory.

8. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris

generated by various operations. The eye

protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtering out particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

9. Keep bystanders a safe distance away

from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of

a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

10. Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an operation where the accessory may contact hidden wiring. An accessory contacting a

″live″ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool ″live″ and shock the operator.

11. Never lay the air tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop.

The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the air tool out of your control.

12. Do not run the air tool while carrying it

at your side. Accidental contact with the

spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.

13. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

14. Do not operate the air tool near

flammable materials. Sparks

could ignite these materials.

15. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before connecting the air supply. A loose accessory may detach or break during operation.

16. Obey the manual for the air compressor used to power this tool.

17. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.

18. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
