manual abstract
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. • The label on your tool may include the following symbols. V..................volts A ..................amperes Hz................hertz W..................watts min ..............minutes ................alternating current ............direct current no ................no load speed ................Class II Construction ..................earthing terminal ................safety alert symbol .../min............revolutions or per minute Side-handle (Fig. 1) The side handle can be fitted to either side of the gear case. Fitting a Backing Pad (Fig. 2 & 3) To fit the pad: 1. Unplug the tool. 2. Insert the backing pad onto the machine spindle. (Fig.2) 3. Position the abrasive disc on the pad. 4. Screw the outer flange with the two grip holes, together with the pad fitted, onto the machine spindle. 5. With your finger firmly on the spindle lock (Fig. 3 A), tighten the outer flange with the pin spanner supplied (Fig. 3 B). 6. Release the spindle lock. You can now plug the tool in and start work. 7. To remove the backing pad, follow the instructions in reverse order. Operation Switch (Fig. 4) To start the tool, squeeze the trigger switch (A). To turn the tool off, release the switch.The tool can be locked on for continuous use by holding the trigger switch depressed while you depress the switch locking button next to the trigger (B). Hold the locking button in as you gently release the trigger. Release the locking button and the tool will continue to run. To turn the tool off from a locked on condition, squeeze and release the trigger once. IMPORTANT: When using the tool for sanding, allow only a segment of the disc to contact the work and refrain from high-pressure application.(Fig. 5) Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint 1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women. 2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint: PERSONAL SAFETY a. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed. b. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper N.I.O.S.H. approved mask. c. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY a. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated. b. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness. c. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area. CLEANING AND DISPOSAL a. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently. b. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area. c. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being used again. Maintenance Cleaning Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. Use clean, dry rag only. Lubrication...
