A-2 Safety Instructions
1. Use dust collection system.
Never operate the sander without an adequate dust
collector in place and running to minimize health hazards.
2. Respirator and safety glasses.
Always wear a respirator and safety glasses while
operating the machine. Dust and chips are created when sanding, some debris will be
ejected, becoming hazards to the eyes and lungs.
3. Avoiding entanglement.
Becoming entangled in the moving parts of this machine can
cause pinching and crushing injuries. To avoid these hazards, do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, jewelry, and the back long hair. Keep all guards in place and doors closed and
secure.
4. Work-piece inspection.
Nails, staples, knots, or other imperfections in the work-piece
can be dislodged and thrown from the sander at a high speed into the operator. Never
attempt to sand stock that has imperfections or embedded foreign objects.
5. Work-piece quantity.
Never sanded two or more work pieces side by side. Since work
pieces are not exactly the same thickness, one of them may be thrown from the sander at a
high rate of speed.
6. Work-piece size.
Attempting to sand work piece that is thinner, narrower, or shorter than
is recommended in this manual can cause kickback or damage to machine. Always make
sure the work-piece is above the minimum size requirements for this sander.
7. Hand placement.
The sanding brush can remove a large amount of flesh in a few
seconds. Always keep hands away from the turning brush. Avoid pinching injuries by never
putting your hand between the work-piece and the machine.
8. Body placement.
In case of kickback, avoid personal injury by always keeping your body
to the side of the sanding path.
