1. Do not operate this sander when tired, distracted or 

under the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medica-
tion that impairs reflexes or alertness.

2. Keep the work area well lit, clean and free of debris.

3. Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention.

Even a momentary distraction can lead to serious 
injury.

4. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets,

necklaces, or other jewelry. Wear face, eye, ear,
respiratory and body protection devices. Wear 
protective hair covering to contain long hair and

5. Keep hands well away from the spindle and all 

moving parts. Do not clear chips and sawdust 
away with hands. Use a brush.

6. Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be 

hazardous to health. Always work in a well ventila-
ted area and whenever possible use a dust 
collector to minimize health hazards.

7. Be sure the spindle has achieved full operating 

speed before beginning to sand.

8. Be aware of the direction of the spindle rotation 

before feeding the workpiece and always feed the 
workpiece against the rotation.

9. Do not force the spindle. It will perform better and 

safer at the rate for which it was designed.

when the unit is running – do not permit them to 
operate the machine.

the machine before starting the machine.

13. Never leave the machine unattended while run-

ning or with the power on.

14. Do not sand without a table insert in place. If an 

insert must be removed for maintenance or spindle 
changes make sure it is properly re-installed before 
re-starting the machine.

15. Hold the workpiece firmly against the table and use 

suitable support if the workpiece does not have a 
flat surface.

16. Never stand on or lean against this machine.

Serious injury could occur if the sander is tipped 
over or if the sanding spindle is unintentionally 
contacted.

17. Use only recommended parts and accessories. The 

use of parts or accessories NOT recommended by 
General® International may result in a risk of injury.

18. Make sure the machine is properly grounded. If 

equipped with three-prong plug, it should be 
plugged into a three-pole electrical receptacle.
Never remove the third-prong.

19. Always disconnect the unit from the power source 

before changing accessories such as sanding 
spindles or sleeves or before performing any main-
tenance and adjustments or if the machine will be 
left unattended.

20. Make sure that switch is in the “Off” position before 

plugging in to a power source.

21. Be sure that all adjustment tools, wrenches or other 

clutter are removed from the machine and safely 
stored before turning on the unit.

22. Avoid working from awkward or off balance 

positions. Do not overreach and always keep both 
feet firmly on the floor.

23. Do not use this spindle sander for other than it’s
