WARNING: SOME DUST CREATED BY POWER SANDING, SAWING,

GRINDING, DRILLING, AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

contains chemicals known 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.

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 filter out microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should

always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark

areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double Insulation eliminates the need

for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is grounded.

3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the

risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

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

power tools may result in serious personal injury.

900006 - 02-07-02.qxd 10/15/02 2:25 PM Page 2

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in.

Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

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

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOLS USE AND CARE

1. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your

body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

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

3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.

Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained tools.

8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become

hazardous when used on another tool.

SERVICE

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS FOR RANDOM ORBIT SANDERS

1. ALWAYS DISCONNECT the sander cord plug from the power circuit

before changing abrasive sheets.

2. USE DUST MASK. Wear a protective mask to minimize breathing in the fine dust created while sanding.

3. DO NOT RUN TOOL WITH BACK-UP PAD REMOVED. Resulting vibration could cause loss of control.

4. DO NOT OPERATE TOOL WITH DUST SHROUD REMOVED. The dust shroud covers high-speed rotating parts.

5. KEEP HANDS AND BODY PARTS AWAY from rotating disc. Contact with rotating disc may cause severe cuts and abrasions.

6. NEVER RUN SANDER with dust container or dust collector assembly removed. Dust could be blown into eyes.

7. WEAR EYE AND FACE PROTECTION. Injury to face and eyes can result if disc flies off or pad ruptures. Wear impact resistant glasses and full face shield.

8. USE PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes and wear a protective mask to minimize breathing in the fine dust created while sanding. NOTE: Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials.

9. SANDING OF LEAD-BASED PAINT IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Leadbased paint should only be removed by a professional.

10. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC.

Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from your material supplier.

11. WARNING: There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. Porter-Cable strongly recommends that this tool NOT be modified and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL

WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when removing paint. The

peelings, residue, and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is poisonous. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.

Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check for lead.

LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL.

Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:

1. KEEP THE WORK AREA WELL VENTILATED. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving air from inside to outside.

2. REMOVE OR COVER any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air ducts.

3. PLACE DROP CLOTHS in the work area to catch any paint chips or peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.

4. WORK IN ONE ROOM AT A TIME. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.

5. CHILDREN, PREGNANT OR POTENTIALLY PREGNANT women and nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all cleanup is complete.

6. WEAR A DUST RESPIRATOR or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and facial hair may keep the masks from sealing properly. Change filters often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
