SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND SYMBOLS

1.Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the sanding tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

2.Keep hands and body parts away from rotating spindle. Contact with rotating spindle can cause severe cuts and abrasions.

3.Use proper safety equipment. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes, wear hearing protection to protect your ears, and wear a protective mask to minimize breathing in the fine dust created while sanding.

4.Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. Lead-based paint should only be removed by a professional.

5.Always keep the base of the sander in contact with a secure workpiece to prevent loss of control.

6.Do not operate Oscillating Sander without all guards and covers securely in place.

7.Some wood contains preservatives which can be toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from your material supplier.
