Additional Safety Instructions for Sanders

1.RESPIRATOR AND SAFETY GLASSES. Always wear a respirator and safety glass- es while operating the machine. Dust and chips are created when sanding. Some debris will be ejected, becoming hazards to the eyes and lungs.

2.DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM. Never operate the sander without an adequate dust collection system in place and run- ning.

3.CLOTHING. DO NOT wear loose clothing while operating this machine. Roll up or button sleeves at the cuff.

4.HAND PROTECTION. DO NOT place hands near, or in contact with, sanding belt during operation. DO NOT allow fingers to get pinched between the workpiece and the table. This may pull the operator’s hand into the machine and cause serious injury!

5.MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSIONS. Do not sand any stock thinner than 116", narrower than 18", or shorter than 9".

6.INSPECTING WORKPIECES. Always inspect workpiece for nails, staples, knots, and other imperfections that could be dis- lodged and thrown from the machine during sanding operations.

7.SANDING METAL. DO NOT sand any kind of metal, as this is an imminent fire hazard and could lead to serious injury or death.

7.FEEDING WORKPIECE. Firmly grasp the workpiece in both hands and ease it into the machine using light pressure. DO NOT jam the workpiece into the machine during operation. Feed the workpiece against the direction of rotation. DO NOT sand tapered or pointed stock with the point facing the feed direction. Never sand more than one piece of stock at a time.

8.UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave the machine running unattended.

9.REPLACING SANDPAPER. Replace sanding paper when it becomes worn. DO NOT operate the sander with damaged or badly worn sandpaper.

10.MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS. Perform machine inspections and main- tenance service promptly when called for. Disconnect power before performing main- tenance or adjustments on the sander.

11.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. Any problem, with the exception of convey- or belt tracking that is concerned with any moving parts or accessories, must be investigated and corrected with the power disconnected, and after all moving parts have come to a complete stop.
