SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating the sander when mounted
on non-horizontal surfaces might result in motor damage.
2. TO STOP it from tipping over or moving when in use, the sander must be
securely fastened to a bench top or supporting surface.
3. PLACE the sander so neither the user nor bystanders are forced to stand in
line with the abrasive belt or disc.
4. MAKE SURE the sanding belt is installed in the correct direction. See directional
arrow on back of belt.
5. ALWAYS have the tracking adjusted properly so the belt does not run off the
pulleys.
6. DO NOT USE sanding belts or discs that are damaged, torn or loose. Use only
correct size sanding belt and disc. Narrower belts uncover parts that could
trap fingers.
7. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece
to be sanded.
8. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly when sanding. Keep hands away from
sanding belt or disc. Sand only one workpiece at a time.
9. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly on the table when using the disc sander
and when using the belt sander.
10. ALWAYS SAND ON THE DOWNWARD SIDE of the sanding disc when using
the disc sander. Sanding on the upward side of the disc could cause the
workpiece to fly out of position, resulting in injury.
11. ALWAYS maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) or less between
the table or backstop and the sanding belt or disc.
12. DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
13. KEEP fingers away from where the belt goes into the dust trap.
14. WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support at table height.
