Additional Safety Instructions for Sanders
No list of safety guidelines can be
complete. Every shop environment
is different. Always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individual
working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.
DUST COLLECTION. Never
operate without adequate vacuum
or dust collection system connected
and running. Proper dust collection
reduces dust in work area, which
decreases risk of long-term respiratory
damage, but it is not a substitute for
using a respirator.
WEAR RESPIRATOR. Sanding
creates large amounts of dust and
flying chips that can lead to respiratory
illness. Reduce risk of these hazards
by wearing approved respiratory
protection when using sander.
ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES/
FACE SHIELD. Use a face shield dur-
ing sanding operation. Everyday eye-
glasses only have impact-resistant
lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not
wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jew-
elry which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is recom-
mended. Wear a protective hair cover-
ing to contain long hair.
WEAR APPROVED HEARING
PROTECTION. Noise produced during
sanding operations may cause hearing
damage with prolonged exposure.
SANDPAPER CONDITION. Worn or
damaged sandpaper not only produces
poor sanding results, but could fly apart,
aggressively grab work surface, and throw
debris at the operator. Always inspect
sandpaper before operation and replace
if worn or damaged.
HAND PLACEMENT. Rotating sandpaper
can remove a large amount of flesh in a
few seconds. Always keep hands away
from sandpaper during operation. Never
touch moving sandpaper on purpose.
UNATTENDED TOOL. Do not leave tool
unattended when connected to power.
Always disconnect tool from power before
leaving work area.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tool and accessories clean for best and
safest performance.
