Additional Safety for Drum Sanders

KICKBACK. Kickback is typically defined as the high-speed expulsion of stock from the machine, which can cause serious personal injury to the operator or bystanders. Until you have a clear understanding how kickback can occur, DO NOT operate this sander!

WORKPIECE FEED RATE. Taking too heavy of a cut or using too fast a feed rate can cause kick- back. Always use the correct depth of cut, then firmly hold the workpiece on the conveyor and ease it into the sander at the same feed rate as the conveyor belt.

AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entan- gled in the moving parts of this machine can cause pinching and crushing injuries. To avoid these hazards, DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long hair. Keep all guards in place and secure.

HAND PLACEMENT. The rotating sanding drum can remove a large amount of flesh in a few sec- onds. Always keep hands away from the sanding drum during operation. Avoid pinching injuries by never putting your hand between the workpiece and the conveyor.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. If not properly sup- ported, long workpieces could bind with the sand- ing drum and cause kickback. Always make sure workpieces are properly supported on the infeed and outfeed sides of the sander.

WORKPIECE QUANTITY. Never sand two or more workpieces side-by-side. Since workpieces are never exactly the same thickness, one of them may be thrown from the sander at a high rate of speed and could cause serious personal injury.

WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Nails, staples, knots, or other imperfections in the workpiece can be dislodged and thrown from the sander at a high rate of speed into the operator or bystanders. Never attempt to sand stock that has imperfec- tions or embedded foreign objects.

DEPTH OF CUT. This sander is designed to sand a 1⁄32" depth of cut or less. Attempting to take a greater depth of cut could cause kickback or dam- age to the machine.

WORKPIECE DIMENSIONS. To maintain a sta- ble operation and avoid kickback, do not attempt to sand workpieces shorter than 4⁜3⁄4" or narrower than 3⁄4".

WORKPIECEMATERIAL.This sander is designed to sand only natural wood products or man-made products made from natural wood fiber.

ALLERGIC REACTIONS. The dust from some wood species can cause harmful reactions to eyes and lungs. Always be aware of these hazards and take precautions by wearing personal protective gear, such as safety goggles and respirator.

BODY PLACEMENT. In case of kickback, avoid personal injury by always keeping your body to the side of the sanding path.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked 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.
