Dress for Safety

* Wear nonslip footwear.

. Tie back long hair.

* Roll long s_eeves above the elbow.

oNoise 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.

° Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry

(rings, wrist watches). They can get caught and draw

you into moving parts.

WEAR YOUR

• Wear safety goggles. Any power sander can throw

foreign objects into the eyes. This can cause perma-

nent 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

goggtes not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seri-

ously hurt you when they break,

Inspect your workpiece make sure there are no nails or

foreign objects in the part of the workpiece to be sanded.

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start

to finish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions

where a sudden slip could cause finger or hand to move

into a sanding surface.

Don't overreach. Maintain balance and footing.

Keep face and body to one side. Stay out of line with a

possible throwback.

Plan your work to avoid THROWBACKS - when the

workpiece catches the sanding drum and is torn

from your hands:

• Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece

_nd its supports.

• When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan

your work support so it will not slip and be pulled from

your hands.

• Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward

workpieces.

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

• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.)

for any workpieces large enough to tip when not

secured to the work surface.

° Never use another person as a substitute for a table

extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that

is longer or wider that the basic sander table, or to help

feed, support or pull the workpiece.

• Clear everything except the workpiece and related sup-

port devices off the table before turning the sander on.

• Always feed workpJece from right to left against the

direction the drum sleeve is rotating.

• Do not use drums or sanding sleeves which show

visual signs of wear such as grooves, tears or rips,

WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from fre-

quent use of your spindle sander) cause a careless

mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough

to cause a severe injury.

When Sander is Running

Before starting your work, watch the sander while it runs.

If it makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates excessively,

Stop Immediately. Turn the sander off. Unplug the

sander. Do not restart until identifying and correcting the

problem.

Never leave tool running unattended.

Before using the sander, make sure the sanding drum

turns counterclockwise, when viewed from above.

Keep children away. Keep all visitors a safe distance

from the sander and workpiece.

Before Leaving The Sander

Turn switch off. Don't leave toot until the unit comes to a

complete stop.

Don't force tool. It will perform better and safer at its

designed rate, Press workpiece against the sanding

sleeve hard enough to begin sanding without bogging

down or binding spindle.

Before freeing any jammed material:

• Turn switch "OFF".

• Unplug the sander.

• Wait for air moving parts to stop.

Make workshop child-proof. Remove the yellow switch

key. Disconnect master switches. Store it away from chiL

dren and others not qualified to use the tool. Lock the

shop.
