SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Sander. These carry important informa-
tion. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
When using a handheld power tool, always maintain a firm grip on the tool
with both hands to resist starting torque.
Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before
plugging in the Sander.
Never lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can
grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
Never leave the Sander unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
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.
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.
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 spe-
cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
