Safety Guidelines
POWER TOOL SAFETY
1. READ and become familiar with the entire Instruction Manual. LEARN the
tool’s application, limitations and possible hazards.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool before
turning ON.
4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools
in damp locations, or expose them to rain or snow. Keep work area well lit.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors and bystanders should be kept a safe
distance from work area.
7. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILD PROOF with padlocks, master switches or by
removing starter keys.
8. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better
and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the tool or an attachment to do a job
for which it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure your extension cord is in
good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
result in a drop in line voltage and in loss of power which will cause the tool
to overheat. The table on page 8 shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts.
Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair.
12. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Any power tool can throw foreign
objects into the eyes and could cause permanent eye damage. ALWAYS
wear Safety Goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI Safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact–resistant lenses. They ARE
NOT safety glasses. NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI
Z87.1 could seriously injure you when they break.
13. WEAR A FACE MASK OR DUST MASK. Sanding operation produces dust.
14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is
safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
15.
DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM POWER SOURCE before servicing, and when
changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. REDUCE
THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch
is in the OFF position before plugging the tool in.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.
WARNING!
!
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this Instruction Manual for
recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk
of injury to yourself or others.
18. NEVER STAND ON THE TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped
or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function – check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN THE POWER
“OFF”. Do not walk away from a running tool until the blade comes to a complete
stop and the tool is unplugged from the power source.
21. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
22.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
23. DO NOT use power tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
24. DO NOT operate the tool if you are under the influence of any drugs, alcohol
or medication that could affect your ability to use the tool properly.
25.
Dust generated from certain materials can be hazardous to your health. Always
operate saw in well-ventilated area and provide for proper dust removal.
26. WEAR HEARING PROTECTION to reduce the risk of induced hearing loss.

Safety Guidelines
POWER TOOL SAFETY
1. USE sander on horizontal surfaces only. Operating the sander when mounted
on non-horizontal surfaces might result in motor damage.
2. TO STOP it from tipping over or moving when in use, the sander must be
securely fastened to a bench top or supporting surface.
3. PLACE the sander so neither the user nor bystanders are forced to stand in
line with the abrasive belt or disc.
4.
MAKE SURE the sanding belt is installed in the correct direction. See directional
arrow on back of belt.
5. ALWAYS have the tracking adjusted properly so the belt does not run off the
pulleys.
6.
DO NOT USE sanding belts or discs that are damaged, torn or loose. Use only
correct size sanding belt and disc. Narrower belts uncover parts that could
trap fingers.
7. MAKE SURE there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece
to be sanded.
8. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly when sanding. Keep hands away from
sanding belt or disc. Sand only one workpiece at a time.
9. ALWAYS HOLD the workpiece firmly on the table when using the disc sander
and when using the belt sander.
10. ALWAYS SAND ON THE DOWNWARD SIDE of the sanding disc when using
the disc sander. Sanding on the upward side of the disc could cause the
workpiece to fly out of position, resulting in injury.
11. ALWAYS maintain a minimum clearance of 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) or less between
the table or backstop and the sanding belt or disc.
12. DO NOT sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely supported.
13. KEEP fingers away from where the belt goes into the dust trap.
14. WHEN sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support at table height.
