Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment or poor work results.
1. BE AWARE OF BELT or disc rotation when
sanding.
2. KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY from the mov-
ing belt or disc. Serious injury could result if
skin contacts abrasives or moving parts.
3. NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE when
sanding. Doing this greatly increases the
chances of personal injury and motor over-
load.
4. ALWAYS FEED THE WORK against the
direction of rotation.
5. EVEN IF YOU HAVE A reliable method of
dust collection, use a dust mask or respira-
tor when sanding, as well as eye and ear
protection.
6. IF THERE IS ANY doubt as to the stability
or integrity of the material to be sanded,
don’t sand it.
7. DO NOT OPERATE SANDER with a dam-
aged or badly worn disc or belt.
8. WHEN DISC SANDING , feed material into
the portion of the disc spinning down toward
the table.
9. TIE BACK LONG HAIR and remove any
loose-fitting clothing or jewelry that could be
caught up in the sander’s disc, belt, or other
moving machine parts.
10. HABITS — GOOD OR BAD — are hard to
break. Develop good habits and safety will
become second nature to you.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-
ciated with the Model G1013 Combination
Sander. Accidents are frequently caused
by lack of familiarity or failure to pay atten-
tion. Use this tool with respect and cau-
tion to lessen the possibility of operator
injury. If normal safety precautions are
overlooked or ignored, serious personal
injury may occur.
