11. Always unplug the Sander from its electrical outlet before performing any
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
12. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before
using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker
could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.
In addition, people with pacemakers should adhere to the following:
•
Avoid operating power tools alone.
• If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A
ground fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive
device is a good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.
• Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.
13. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contain 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 or other masonry products.
• 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.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,
et seq. )
14. Take caution as some woods contain preservatives such as copper chromium
arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When cutting these materials extra care should
be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
15. WARNING! Exposure to aluminum oxide (a dust generated from material removing
processes) can result in eye, skin, and respiratory irritation. Always use a NIOSH
(National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) approved respirator and ANSI
approved safety goggles. Avoid skin exposure. Proper ventilation in the work area
is required.
16. WARNING! The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must
be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which
cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Note: Performance of this tool (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on
variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
