Additional Safety Rules

Tool Use

DON’T FORCE TOOL

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL

Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Don’t used tool for purpose not intended—for example, don’t use a circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

SECURE WORK

Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED

Turn power off. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

Tool Care

DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL

These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is misuse and may result in dangerous conditions.

AVOID GASEOUS AREAS

Do not operate electric tools in a gaseous or explosive atmosphere. Motors in these tools normally spark, and may result in a dangerous condition.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE

Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Before connecting the tool to a power ! WARNING source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure

voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

8. STABILITY OF THE BELT/DISC SANDER

If there is any tendency of the belt/disc sander to tilt or move during any use, bolt it to the bench top or to a piece of 3/4" exterior plywood large enough to stabilize the sander. Bolt the plywood to the underside of the base so it extends beyond the sides of the base. DO NOT USE PRESSED WOODS PANELS. They can break unexpectedly. If the workpiece is too large to easily support with one hand, provide an auxiliary support.

9. LOCATION

Use the sander in a well lit area and on a level surface, clean and smooth enough to reduce the risk of trips and falls. Use it where neither the operator nor the casual observer is forced to stand in line with a potential kickback.

10.PROTECTION: Eyes, hands, ears and body.

!TO AVOID BEING PULLED INTO WARNING THE SPINNING TOOL—

DO NOT WEAR: Loose fitting gloves

Necktie

Loose clothing

Jewelry

DO: TIE BACK LONG HAIR

ROLL LONG SLEEVES ABOVE ELBOWS

a.If any part of your belt/disc sander is missing, malfunctioning, has been damaged or broken … such as the motor switch, or other operating control, a safety device or the power cord … cease operating imme- diately until the particular part is properly repaired or replaced.

b.Never place your fingers in a position where they could contact the sand paper or other cutting tool if the workpiece should unexpectedly shift or your hand should slip.
