Porter-Cable 7424 Sander User Manual


 
4
SPECIFIC RULES AND SYMBOLS
1. Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard protects
operator from broken wheel fragments.
2. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on
the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury.
3. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting tool 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.
4. Always disconnect the sander cord plug from the power circuit
before changing abrasive sheets.
5. Do not run tool with back-up pad removed. Resulting vibration could
cause loss of control.
6. Use proper safety equipment. Wear safety goggles to protect your
eyes and wear a protective mask to minimize breathing in the fine dust
created while sanding.
7. Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. Lead-based paint
should only be removed by a professional.
8. Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra
care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these
materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from your
material supplier.
There are certain applications for which this tool was
designed. Porter-Cable strongly recommends that this tool NOT be modified
and/or used for any application other than for which it was designed. If you
