GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing how your item works.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using
this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in personal injury and tool damage.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
4. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
4. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes and hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce the risk of
personal injury.
3. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
4
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
4. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
5. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
6. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE SPINDLE SANDER
WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product
safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
1. TOOL PURPOSE. This sander is designed to sand wood or wood-like products only. Sanding or grinding
other materials could result in fire, injury, or damage to the workpiece. Using the machine for any other purpose for which it is not designed may result in serious injuries, machine damage and voiding of the warranty.
2. MACHINE MOUNTING. For operation safety, the sander must be securely mounted onto a flat and stable
surface or stand.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY.
• Always wear ANSI Z87.1-approved glasses with side shields, hearing protection and a dust mask.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they might get drawn in by the tool. Tie back long hair.
• DO NOT wear gloves while operating this machine.
4. ELECTRIC CORDS. Keep cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts of the tool. Have an
electrician replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
5. TOOL & ACCESSORIES INSPECTION. Before operation, check the tool and accessories for any damage or
missing parts. Do not use the tool if any part is missing or damaged. Make sure all adjustments are correct
and all connections are tight. Keep all guards in place.
6. SANDING ACCESSORIES.
• Do not use sanding sleeves or drums that are damaged, torn, or loose. Replace worn or damaged sanding
sleeves before operation.
• Always unplug the unit before making adjustments or changing sandpaper, rubber drums or throat plates.
• Always use the throat plate that matches the diameter of the drum to minimize the gap between the drum
and the throat plate opening; this will reduce the risk of personal injury.
7. WORKPIECE REQUIREMENTS.
• Only stand workpieces sturdy enough to withstand the force of the sanding spindle.
• Inspect the workpiece for imperfections, nails, staples, etc. before sanding. Never sand stock that has
questionable imperfections or embedded foreign objects.
• When sanding a large workpiece, provide additional support. Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported.
• Sand only one workpiece at a time.
8. PREVENTING ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position prior to plugging in the machine. Always make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and the machine is unplugged when doing any cleaning, assembly, setup operations, or when not in use.
9. Do not operate this tool until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions.
10. Remove scrap pieces and other objects from the table and sanding sleeve before turning ON the sander.
