ATTACHMENT ROTATION DIRECTION
when sanding.
2. KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY FROM MOV-
ING PARTS.

DOUBT ITS STABILITY OR INTEGRITY.
Inspect all materials carefully for foreign
objects like nails and staples.
8. WHEN DRUM SANDING, FEED MATER-
IAL INTO THE PORTION OF THE DRUM
SPINNING DOWN.
9. DEVELOP GOOD HABITS IN YOUR
SHOP
and safety will become second-
nature to you. Habits – good and bad – are
hard to break.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-
ciated with the Model G8749 Drum/Flap
Sander. Accidents are frequently caused
by lack of familiarity or failure to pay atten-
tion. Use this tool with respect and caution
to lessen the possibility of operator injury.
If normal safety precautions are over-
looked or ignored, serious 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.
