Some workpieces are not safe or may require
modification before they are safe to sand.
Before
sanding, inspect all workpieces for the follow-
ing:
•
Material Type: This machine is intended for
ONLY sanding natural and man-made wood
products. This machine is NOT designed
to sand metal, glass, stone, tile, drywall or
cementitious backerboard.
•
Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks
and other foreign objects are often embed-
