4. This Oscillating Edge Sander is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced
personnel only. If you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of an edge sander, do not
use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

that use.
6. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this Oscillating Edge Sander.
Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.

9. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic
particles.

purposes, use extreme caution and replace the guards immediately when maintenance is complete.
16. Make sure the edge sander is firmly secured to the floor before use.

and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
