work to be performed.

those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

tool is maintained.
Specific Safety Rules
•
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the abrasive belt may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
•
Always hold tool firmly.
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work
piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• WARNING:
ALWAYS use proper safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI 512.6 (53.19) hearing protection,
•
NI05H/OSHA respiratory protection.
• 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 (CCA).
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.
•
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into
your mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.
