SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE SANDER
6. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center.

loan someone this product, loan them these instructions also.
8. Do not use the sander to remove lead-based paints.
WARNING: This product and the dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities may contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure, work in a well-ventilated area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Vibration safety
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 any vibration-related injury:
1. 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.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
5. Take vibration-free breaks during each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any abnormal vibration occurs, stop use
immediately.
