19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be checked to
assure that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function-check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other con-
ditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BELT & DISC
SANDER
1. Sander must be bolted down to a stand or workbench for sta-
bility.
2. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of
the workpiece to be sanded.
3. Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS - if the workpiece
catches on the sanding belt or disc and is torn from your hand.
4. Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece and its
supports.
5. When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work
support so it will not slip and be pulled from your hands.
6. Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpie-
ces.
7. Never use this tool to finish pieces too small to hold by hand.
8. Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, work stands, etc.) for
any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the
table stop.
9. DO NOT use another person as a substitute for a table exten-
sion, 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.
10. When finishing on the disc, always press the work piece
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.
11. Sand only one workpiece at a time.
12. Find and read the WARNING label (see sample on right)
mounted on the sander.
13. Clear everything except the work piece and related support
devices off the table before turning the sander on.
14. Plan the way you will hold the work piece from start to finish.
15. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden
slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a sanding surfa-
ce. Keep fingers away from where the belt goes into the dust
trap.
16. Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with a pos-
sible throwback.
17. Before starting work, watch the sander while it runs. If it
makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately.
Press the STOP button on sander. Unplug the sander. Do not
restart until finding and correcting the problem.
18. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Press the work piece against the
sanding material only hard enought to let it sand without bog-
ging down or binding.
19. Before freeing any jammed material ensure that you follow
the next three steps.
• Press the red “STOP” button.
• Unplug the sander from the mains power supply.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
20. WARNING LABELS – It is important that labels bearing
Health & Safety Warnings are not removed or painted over.
New labels are available from Customer Services.
21. MECHANICAL SAFETY – The security of all clamps and
work holding devices should be checked before switching on.
22. WOOD DUST – The fine particles of dust produced in san-
ding operations can be a long term health hazard if excessive.
Some imported hardwoods do give off highly irritant dust
which causes a burning sensation. We strongly recommend the
use of a dust collector and dust mask/visor. Our Custeromer
Seervices will be happy to advise you on the correct unit for
your needs.
