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 sand-
ing 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. Keep hands away from the drum during operation. If cleaning is
necessary, use a brush to remove sawdust and chips instead of your hands.
13. Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the table while the sander is operating.
14. After turning off the sander, wait until the spindle comes to a complete stop before touching the work-
piece.
15. Always turn off and unplug the machine before cleaning, making adjustments or changing attach-
ments. Accidental start-ups may occur if the tool is plugged in during an accessory change or adjustment.
16. CLEANING. Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could dissolve or otherwise damage the
material. Use only a soft damp cloth to clean plastic parts.
17. REPLACEMENTS. Should any component of your sander be missing/damaged or fail in any way, shut
off the switch and remove the plug from power supply outlet. Replace the missing, damaged, or failed
parts using only identical replacement parts before resuming operation.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may
contain chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment such as dust
masks specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
These safety instructions can’t possibly warn of every scenario that may arise with this tool,
so always make sure to stay alert and use common sense during operation.
