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.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE SPINDLE SANDER 11. FEEDING THE WORKPIECE. • Allow spindle to reach full speed before feeding the workpiece. Do not turn on the machine while the sanding sleeve is contacting the workpiece. • Be aware of the direction of the spindle’s rotation (counterclockwise). Only feed the workpiece AGAINST the rotation of the spindle. • Firmly hold the workpiece and lightly ease it against the spindle. Do not forcefully jam a workpiece into the sanding surface. 12. DO NOT TOUCH MOVING PIECES.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS The tool’s electrical system is double insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
