Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations

Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s

recommendations when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the

sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Vibration precautions

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 vibration-related injury:

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for

an extended period should 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. Include vibration-free periods

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

tool as explained in this manual.

If abnormal vibration occurs,

stop immediately.
