Additional Safety Instructions

For The Wide-Belt Sander

¥DO NOT allow anyone to stand at the out- feed end when feeding your stock.

¥DO NOT jam workpiece into the machine during operation. Firmly grasp the work- piece in both hands and ease it into the machine using light pressure.

¥DO NOT wear loose clothing while operat- ing this machine. Roll up or button sleeves at the cuff.

¥DO NOT sand any stock thinner than 1Ú8''. DO NOT sand stock shorter than 9''

¥DO NOT attempt to sand thin stock by using a ÒdummyÓ board under your work- piece.

DO NOT place hands near, or in contact with, sanding belts during operation.

DO NOT allow fingers to get pinched between board and conveyor belt during operation. This may pull the operatorÕs hand into the machine and cause serious injury or death!

¥ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK in addi- tion to using a dust collector. This machine produces wood dust that may cause aller- gic reactions or respiratory problems.

¥NEVER leave the machine running unat- tended.

¥NEVER operate the sander without an adequate dust collection system in place and operating correctly.

¥NEVER operate sander with the access doors open.

¥ANY PROBLEM, with the exception of conveyor belt tracking, that is concerned at all with any moving parts or accessories must be investigated and corrected with the power disconnected and after all mov- ing parts have come to a complete stop. Never attempt to adjust conveyor belt tracking when the sanding belts are engaged.

¥REPLACE sanding belt when it becomes worn.

¥ALWAYS inspect board stock for nails, staples, knots, and other imperfections that could be dislodged and thrown from the machine during sanding operations.

¥MAKE SURE all operators have read and understand this manual before allowing them to use the sander. This includes employees, students and family!

As with all power tools, there is danger associated with Wide-Belt Sanders. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this tool with respect and caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

Operating this equipment has the potential for creating flying debris which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading glasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass- es you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
