READ and understand this 
entire instruction manual 
before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!
USE this and other machinery with caution and respect, and always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual work- ing conditions. Remember, no list of safety guidelines can be complete, and every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines can result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment and/or poor work results.
•ALWAYS keep bystanders and yourself away when a workpiece is fed into the sander.
•ALWAYS secure aprons, clothing, and long hair away from all sander moving parts.
•ALWAYS use a respirator along with a dust collection system when sanding. Dust from some wood is toxic, so make sure you research the dangers of the specific species of wood you will sand.
•ALWAYS keep your hands away from the sanding belt during operation, and wear eye and hearing protection.
•ALWAYS adjust the conveyor feed rate and sanding drum height, so when you feed the workpiece into the sander using light pressure, you do not overload the sander. Never force the workpiece into the sander.

•NEVER sand more than one workpiece at a time.
•NEVER sand tapered or pointed stock with the point facing the feed direction.
