Like all machines there is danger associ-
ated with the Model G0538. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos
-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri
-
ous personal injury may occur.
7. SANDING SLEEVES. Worn or damaged
sanding sleeves can tear ap
