Safety Instructions For Drum / Flap Sanders
1. BE AWARE OF DRUM OR FLAP
ATTACHMENT ROTATION DIRECTION
when sanding.
2. KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM MOV-
ING PARTS.
3. NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE
WHEN SANDING.
Doing so greatly
increases the chance of personal injury,
mechanical damage, or damage to your
workpiece.
4. ALWAYS FEED YOUR WORKPIECE
AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF ROTA-
TION.
5. DEVELOP GOOD HABITS IN YOUR
SHOP and safety will become second-
nature to you. Habits – good and bad – are
hard to break.
6. DO NOT SAND A WORKPIECE IF YOU
DOUBT ITS STABILITY OR INTEGRITY.
Inspect all materials carefully for foreign
objects like nails and staples.
7. WHEN DRUM SANDING, FEED MATER-
IAL INTO THE PORTION OF THE DRUM
SPINNING DOWNWARD.
8. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO WOOD
DUST IS KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER
IN HUMANS.
Always wear an OSHA-
approved respirator when working in an
environment that could contain wood dust.
9. DO NOT OPERATE THE SANDER IF
THE DRUM OR FLAP ATTACHMENT IS
DAMAGED OR BADLY WORN.
Pieces of
sandpaper could be ejected from the
sander, causing serious injury.
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-
ciated with the Model G0518. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this tool with
respect and caution to lessen the possibil-
ity of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur. No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment or poor
work results.
