SAFETY RULES FOR POWER SANDERS

2.INSPECT FOR AND REMOVE all nails, screws, staples or any embedded pieces
of metal from surface to be sanded. These protrusions; could damage the sandpaper, the cushion of the sander and cause loss of control. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury and damage to the sander.
3.NEVER use this or any power sander for wet sanding or liquid polishing. Failure to follow this rule will increase the risk of electric shock.
4.ALWAYS clamp the workpiece securely so it will not move under the sander. Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator, causing injury.
5.DO NOT force the sander, The weight of the sander supplies adequate pressure. Let the sander and the grit on the sandpaper do the work.
6.DO NOT sand in any one place for too long. The sander's rapid action may remove too much material and make the surface uneven.
