inspect your workpiece,
Make sure there are ríoháils or foreign objects ih the part of
the workpiece to be sanded. ■
Plan your work to avoid THRÓWÉACKS—when the work­
piece catches on the sanding belt or disc and is torn from
your hands. ■

• Make sure there's no debris between the workpiece and
its supports. . ■ V .
• When sanding irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your
work support so it witi not slip and be pulled from your
hands.
• Use extra caution with large, very small or awkward
. pieces: • : . . .
« Never use this tool to finish pieces too small to hold by
hand. : ^ .
• Use extra supports (tables, saw horses, blocks, etc.) for
: any workpieces large enough to tip when not held down
to the table top. ,
• NEVER use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as additional support for a workpiece that
is longer or wider than the basic sander table, or to help
feed, support or pull the workpiece,
• When finishing onthe Disc, always press the wbrkpiece
against the "Down" side of the disc. Sanding against the
side coming up from under the table could damage the
work by making it "chatter," or tear the work from your
hands and throw it.
• Sand only one workpiece at a time.
• Clear everything except the workpiece and related sup­
port devices off the table before turning the sander on.
Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to finish.
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sud­
den slip could cause fingers or hand to move into a sanding
surface. Keep fingers away from where the belt goes into the
dust trap.
DON'T OVERREACH, Keep good footing and balance.
Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with a pos­
sible throwback.
WHENEVER SANDER IS RUNNING.
WARNING: Don't let familiarity (gained from frequent use of
your belt and disc sander) cause a careless mistake. A care­
less fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury.
Before starting your cut, watch the sander while it runs. If it
makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates a lot, stop immediately.
Turn the sander off. Unplug the sander. Do not restart until
finding and correcting the problem.
Make sure the sanding disc turns counterclockwise before
using the sander.
KEEPC HIED REN AWAY. Keepallvisitorsasafedistancefrom
the sander. Make sure bystanders are clearof the sander and
vvprkpiece.
:
DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at its
designated rate. Press the workpiece against the sanding
rriaterial only hard enough to let it sand without bogging
down or binding.
Before freeing any jammed material:
: «Turn switch "OFF."
; • Unplug the sander.
• Wait for ail moving parts to stop.
To avoid throwback of the workpiece, use workpiece supports
for all flat surface sanding.
