Additional Safety Instructions for Sanders

SAFETY

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 followed. 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 working conditions. Remember, no list of safety guidelines can be complete, and every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines can result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment and/or poor work results.

1.Always wear a dust mask. Sanding operations create large amounts of fine dust. Some types of dust may cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems. In addition to wearing a dust mask, always use a dust collector and overhead air filter for maximum protection.

2.Do not allow your fingers to get pinched between the board and the conveyor belt during feeding. The grip of the conveyor belt may pull the operator’s hand into the machine and cause serious injury or death. Similarly, do not place hands near the sanding belts during operation.

3.Know the limits of the sander. Do not sand stock thinner than 18" or shorter than 10".

4.Never perform sanding operations with the access doors open.

5.Always inspect stock for staples, nails, dirt or other foreign objects before sanding. These items may cause damage to your sander or may even be thrown at a high rate of speed from the sander at the operator.

6.Never allow anyone to stand directly in front or behind the path of the stock as it is being fed through the sander. The stock may be ejected at a high rate of speed and could cause serious injury to the operator or bystanders.

7.Treat your sander with respect. Do not force stock into the sander during operation or overload the sanding drums beyond reasonable limits. Also, only sand natural wood fiber through your sander. Other materials may damage your machine and open the possibility for operator injury. Keep the internal components clean and lubricated to ensure that the sander can perform the way it was intended.

8.Never operate the sander without a working dust collection system. The sander is designed to properly do its job only when wood dust is being evacuated. The buildup of too much wood dust in the internal components will cause performance problems and may increase the likelihood of operator injury.

9.Wear the proper clothing during all operation and adjustments. Loose clothing or long hair creates the potential for operator injury because they can easily be caught in the moving parts of the machine. Roll up loose sleeves, tie back long hair and take any other necessary steps to reduce this hazard.
