SAFETY RULES FOR POWER SANDERS
1. HOLD TOOL by insulated gripping surfaces when sanding where toolmay contact
hiddenwiring, such as wails, floors, or itsown power cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metals parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
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. Followingthis 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.
