Additional Safety Instructions For The Sander

1.Be aware of belt or disc rotation direction when sanding.

2.Keep fingertips away from moving parts.

3.Never use excessive force when sanding. Doing so greatly increases the chance of personal injury, mechanical damage, or damage to your workpiece.

4.Always feed your work AGAINST the direction of rotation.

5.DO NOT operate the sander if the disc or belt are damaged or badly worn. Portions of sandpaper could be ejected from the sander.

6.Even if you have a reliable method of dust collection, use a dust mask or respirator when sanding. Use eye and hearing pro- tection as well.

7.DO NOT sand material when you doubt its stability or integrity. Inspect all materials carefully for foreign objects like nails and staples.

8.When disc sanding, feed material into the portion of the disc spinning DOWN toward the table.

9.Habits – good and bad – are hard to break. Develop good habits in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.

Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass- es or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass- es you wear meet the appropriate stan- dards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Like all power tools, there is danger asso- ciated with the Model G1183/1276 Combination Sander. Accidents are fre- quently caused by lack of familiarity or fail- ure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibil- ity of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri- ous personal injury may occur.

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 per- sonal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
