12. THINK SAFETY
SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR COM-
MON SENSE AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES
WHEN THE SANDER IS BEING USED.
Do not allow familiarity (gained from
frequent use of your sander) to become
commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction
o
f a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
The operation of any power tool
c
an result in foreign objects being
t
hrown into the eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles that
comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
Package) before commencing power tool operation.
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.
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.
