Dressfor safety,

Any power sander can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause permanent eye damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Z87.1 (shown on package). Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses. They are not safety glasses. Safety goggles are available at Sears retail catalog stores. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously hurt you when they break.

Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jew- elry (rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.

Wear nonslip footwear. Tie back long hair.

Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing

damage, wear ear plugs or muffs when using sander for hours at a time.

Sanding operations are usually dusty. Wear a dust mask along with the safety goggles.

Inspect your workpiece

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be sanded.

Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS - when the workpiece catches on the sanding belt or disc and is torn from your hands.

Make sure there'sno debris between the workpiece and its supports.

When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan

your work support so it will not sitp and be pulled from your hands.

Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward workpieces.

Never use this tool to finish pieces too small to hold by hand.

Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.

NEVER use another person as a substitute for atable extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that JsIonger or wider than the basic sander table, or to help feed, support, or pull the workpiece.

When finishing on the disc, always pressthe workpiece against the "Down" side of the disc. Sanding against the side coming up from under the table could dam- age the work by making it "chatter," or tear the work from your hands and throw it.

Sand only one workpiece at a time.

Clear everything except the workpiece and related support devices off the table before turning the sander

on.

Plan the way you will hold the workplece from start to finish.

Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a sanding sudace. Keep fingers away from where the belt goes into the dust trap.

DON'TOVERREACH. Keep good footing and balance.

Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with a possible throwback.

quent use of your belt and disc sander) cause a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is
