If possible, ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped to prevent
movement.
Your finishing sander is a hand held tool, do not clamp your
finishing sander.
Before sanding, check the area is free of nails, screws, etc.
Never stop the finishing sander by applying a force to the
baseplate.
Only use paper in good condition. Do not use torn or worn paper.
Do not sand material containing asbestos due to a health risk.
Do not sand lead based paint due to the risk of lead poisoning.
Do not eat or drink in the working area of the sander.
Do not allow people to enter the working area without wearing
a dust mask.
Where possible, seal off the working area to contain the dust for
later removal.
Your tool is designed for dry sanding only, not wet sanding.
Your tool is designed for general purpose light polishing of
wood and metals.
Do not sand magnesium material due to the risk of fire.
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using the
sander. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses;
they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Always wear hearing protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. lead painted
surfaces, woods and metals. Contact with or inhalation of these
dusts can endanger the health of operator and bystanders.
Always use eye glasses and dust mask.
Warning: Some dust particles created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drill and other construction jobs contain
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.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often
you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
Work in a well-ventilated area.
Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to bag microscopic particles.
