PLAN YOUR WORK
USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don't fore tool or attachment to do a
job it was not designed to do.
Caution:
This machine is not designed for heavy deburring
operations. When finishing metal, sparks or hot
fragments could cause a fire. To avoid this:
Disconnect any dust collecting hose from the sander
Remove all traces of wood dust from inside the sander.
Remove all traces of metal dust form inside the sander
before sanding wood again.
Dress for safety.
Any power sander can throw foreign objects into the eyes.
This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear safety
goggles.
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or
jewelry(rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and
draw you into moving parts.
Wear nonslip footwear
Tie back long hair.
Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear-plug or muffs when using sander for
hours at a time.
Sanding operations are usually dusty. Wear a dust mask
along with safety goggles.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
Caution: Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects
in the part of the work piece to be sanded.
Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS- when the work
piece catches the sanding belt or disc and is torn from your
hands.
Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece and its
supports.
When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your
work support so it will not slip and be pulled from your
hands.
Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
workpieces.
Never use this tool to finish pieces too small to hold by
hand.
Use extra support( tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for any
workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the
table top.
Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that is
longer or wider than the basic sander table, or to help feed,
support, or pull the workpiece.
When finishing on the disc, always press the workpiece
against the "down" side of the disc. Sanding against the
side coming up from under the table could damage the
work by making it "chatter", or tear the work from your
hands and throw it.
Sand only one workpiece at a time.
Clear everything except the workpiece and rated support
devices off the table before turning the sander on.
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to
finish.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a
sanding surface. Keep fingers away from where the belt goes
into the dust trap.
DON'T OVERREACH. Keep good footing and balance.
Keep your face and body to one side, out off line with a
possible throwback.
