To Avoid Back Injury
oGet help or use recommended casters when you need
to move the sander
o Always get help if you need to lift the sander.
Before Each Use:
Inspect your sander. Check for:
o alignment of moving parts,
•binding of moving parts,
o broken or damaged pads,
o worn or damaged electric cords,
stable mounting
• any other condition that may affect the way the sander
works,
If any part is missing, bent, or broken in any way, or any
electrical parts don't work properly, turn the sander off
and unplug the sander. Replace damaged, missing, or
failed parts before using the sander again.
Disconnect the sander to avoid injury from accidental
starting, Turn the switch off, unplug the sander and
remove the switch key before changing the setup or
sanding belt and disc.
Maintain tools with care. Keep the sander clean for the
best and safest performance.
Remove wrenches from tool before turning on.
To avoid injury from jams, slips or thrown pieces:
° Use only recommended accessories. Consult this
owneCs manual for recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause injury. See
"Accessory" section.
• Adjust any work support to clear the sanding surface
by no more than 1/16 of an inch. When checking clear-
ance between the belt and work support, press the belt
flat against the metal beneath it.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and no
parts have excessive play.
• Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents. Floor must net be slippery.
Plan Ahead to Protect Your Eyes, Hands,
Face and Ears:
Dress for Safety:
• Wear nonslip footwear.
, Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
o Noise levels vary widely, To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using sander
for hours at a time.
• Sanding operations are usually dusty. Wear a dust
mask along with the safety goggles.
•Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw
you into moving parts.
o Wear safety goggles. Any power sander can throw
foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause perma-
nent eye damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package).
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles
are available at area stores. Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you
when they break.
Know your sander. Read and understand the owner's
manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its applica-
tion and limitations as well as the specific potential haz-
ards peculiar to this tool.
Toavoid injury from accidental contact with moving parts:
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
° Don't do layout, assembly, or setup work on the sander
while any parts are moving.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure switch is "OFF"
before plugging sander into a power outlet.
Plan your work, Think through how you will hold and
maneuver the workpiece from start to finish.
Use the right tool, Don't force tool or attachment to do a
job it was not designed to do.
Inspect your workpiece make sure there are no nails or
foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be sanded.
Plan the way you wilt hold the workpiece from start
to finish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions
where a sudden slip could cause finger or hand to move
into a sanding surface. Keep fingers away from where the
bolt goes into the dust trap.
Don't overreach. Keep good tooting and balance.
Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with a
possible throwback.
