wear. Keep the floor clear of oil, scrap, and other debris.
16. MAINTAIN TOOLS PROPERLY. ALWAYS keep tools clean and in good working order. Follow instruc-
tions for lubricating and changing accessories.
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper

ment. Use ear protection such as plugs or muffs during extended periods of operation.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Do not operate the spindle sander until it is completely assembled and installed according
to the instructions.
1. Know your spindle sander; if any part is missing, bent, broken, or otherwise does not function properly, replace
it before using the spindle sander.
2. Be familiar with the type of work to be performed when operating any power tool, including the spindle sander.
3. Hold the workpiece securely to the sander table with both hands to protect yourself and your project.
4. Be aware of the direction of the spindle’s rotation. Be certain to feed the workpiece against the rotation of the
spindle.
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. Disconnect the sander after turning off the power switch. Wait for the spindle to stop rotating before performing
maintenance. The sander must be disconnected when not in use or when changing parts and accessories.
7. Make sure there are no nails or other foreign objects present in the area of the workpiece to be sanded.
