Uncertainty K:
The sound intensity level for the operator may exceed 85dB(A) and sound protection
measures are necessary.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the
time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop
using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the
correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long-term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If
necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not
operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a
greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the
duration and frequency of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to EN60745 or
similar international standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal
working conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may produce
increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides information on sound
and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic users who use tools for
long periods of time.
USA Safety Rules
1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
4. DON'T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools in damp or wet
locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit.
5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
6. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter
keys.
7. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
8. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage
number, the heavier the cord.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or
other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories, such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position
before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool
is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.

Oscillating Spindle & Belt Sander
Safety
•
Hold the power tool by insulated handles or gripping surfaces only, because the
sanding belt/sheet may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock.
•
Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device with
a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
•
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur. The operator must understand that
common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be
supplied by the operator.
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 sander.
a) Check the condition of the sander. If any part is missing, bent, or does not operate
properly, replace the part before using the sander.
b) Determine the type of work you are going to be doing before operating the sander.
c) Secure your work. Support the workpiece securely on the table, and hold it with both
hands.
d) Be aware of the direction of feed. Feed the workpiece into the sanding sleeve or belt
against the direction of rotation of the sanding sleeve or belt.
e) Always keep your hands out of the path of the sander and away from the sanding
sleeves or belt. Avoid hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to
contact the sleeve or belt. Do not reach underneath the workpiece or around the sanding
sleeve or belt while the spindle is rotating.
f)
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 throat plates, sanding sleeves, sanding belts, or other items.
g) Make sure there are no nails or other foreign objects in the area of the workpiece to
be sanded.
h) Never use this sander for wet sanding. Failure to comply may result in electrical shock,
causing serious injury or worse.
i)
Use only identical replacement parts when servicing this sander.
Make sure the spindle has come to a complete stop before touching the workpiece.
j)
k) 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:
a) Protect your lungs. Wear a dust mask or respirator.
b) Do not allow children or pregnant women in the work area until the paint sanding
job is finished and the clean-up is completed
c) Do not eat, drink, or smoke in an area where painted surfaces are being sanded
d) Use a dust collection system when possible. Seal the work area with plastic. Do not
track paint dust outside of the work area
e) Thoroughly clean the area when the paint sanding project is completed
