SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE SPINDLE SANDER 11. FEEDING THE WORKPIECE. • Allow spindle to reach full speed before feeding the workpiece. Do not turn on the machine while the sand- ing sleeve is contacting the workpiece. • Be aware of the direction of the spindle’s rotation (counterclockwise). Only feed the workpiece AGAINST the rotation of the spindle.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS The tool’s electrical system is double insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
