e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
5) Service
a) 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SPINDLE
SANDERS
Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to
eliminate all residual risk factors. Use with caution. If you
are at all unsure of the correct and safe manner in which to
use this tool, do not attempt to use it.
Do not operate the spindle sander until it is fully assembled
and you have read and understood the following
instructions and the warning labels on the spindle sander.
1. Check the condition of the spindle sander. If any part is
missing, bent, or does not operate properly, replace the
part before using the sander.
2. Determine the type of work you are going to be doing
before operating the spindle sander.
3. Secure your work. Support the workpiece securely on
the table, and hold it with both hands.
WARNING: Feed the workpiece gradually, AGAINST
the direction of rotation, onto the sanding sleeve.
Failure to do this could force the workpiece away from
the sanding sleeve with risk of injury. Do not apply
excessive pressure.
5. Always keep your hands out of the path of the sander
and away from the sanding sleeves. Avoid hand
positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand
to move into the spindle. Do not reach underneath
the workpiece or around the sanding sleeve while the
spindle is rotating.
6. On completion of task, turn off the machine and
disconnect from mains power. Wait for the spindle
to stop rotating before performing maintenance. The
sander must be disconnected when not in use or
when changing insert plates, sanding sleeves, rubber
spindles, or other items.
7. Make sure there are no nails or other foreign objects in
the area of the workpiece to be sanded.
8. Never use this sander for wet sanding. Failure to comply
may result in electrical shock, causing serious injury or
worse.
9. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing
this spindle sander.
10. Make sure the spindle has come to a complete
stop before touching the workpiece.
11. Take precautions when sanding painted surfaces.
Sanding lead-based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED. The
contaminated dust is too difficult to control, and could
cause lead poisoning.
When sanding paint:
• Protect your lungs. Wear a dust mask or respirator
• Do not allow children or pregnant women in the work
area until the paint sanding job is finished and the
clean-up is completed
• Do not eat, drink, or smoke in an area where painted
surfaces are being sanded
• Use a dust collection system when possible. Seal the
work area with plastic. Do not track paint dust outside
of the work area
• Thoroughly clean the area when the paint sanding
project is completed
