Ah, today looks like a good day to use excessive force.
Perhaps he doesn't understand that you're not really fighting in a sparring match so he doesn't have to use a lot of force. When I was a lot younger the first time I got into free sparring during class I threw actual punches at the girl I was sparring with but she was smart enough to take the initiative and correct the fact that I shouldn't be hitting really hard.
Take a moment to tell him that you'd really rather not be hit that hard. If he doesn't listen then you need to speak with your instructor and get another sparring partner.
