13.Form a habit of checking to see that all extra equipment such as adjusting keys, wrenches, scrap, stock, and cleaning rags are removed away from the machine before turning on.

14.Keep safety guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately when maintenance is complete.

15.Make sure the sander is firmly secured to the floor before use.

16.Check damaged parts. Before further use of the machine, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine 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 conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

17.Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.

18.Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.

19.Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.

Keep children away.

20.Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

21.Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse- play" are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

22.Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the sanding spindle or other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

23.Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.

24.Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

25.Maintain machinery with care. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

26.Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove dust or debris—do not use your hands.

27.Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

28.Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

29.At all times hold the stock firmly.

30.Do not use this sander for other than it intended use. If used for other purposes, Delta® Power Equipment Corporation disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which may result from that use.
