SECTION 6: OPERATIONS
Your safety is important! Please follow the warnings below:
Operating this equipment creates the potential for flying debris to cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be cer- tain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Keep loose clothing out of the way of machinery and keep hair pulled back during operations.
Sanding surfaces are capable of causing serious personal injury if they come in con- tact with fingers, hands, or other body parts. Use extreme care to provide a large buffer area between the sanding belt and any part of your body.
Using this machine pro- duces sawdust that may cause short and long- term respiratory illness. Always wear a dust mask when operating this machine.
Power Switch
Besides starting and stopping the sander, the power switch features an important safety lockout key. This key can be removed (as shown in Figure 21) to disable the sander so that it cannot be accidentally started.
