SECTION 5: OPERATIONS

The inflatable sanding drum accepts hard or soft- sanding sleeves 31Ú4" and 43Ú4" diameter by 8". These are available in a variety of grits. See the current Grizzly catalog for prices and ordering information.

Please review all safety rules for sanders and all power tools before attempting operation. The hints listed below are also worth your considera- tion:

1.Use great care when first engaging the workpiece against the drum or flap sander. There can be considerable force generated causing the workpiece to fly out of your hands.

2.Do not over-inflate the drums. Maximum pressure for these drums is 10 PSI.

3.Do not over-sand soft woods such as bass- wood or pine.

4.Choose the correct sanding grit for the job.

5.Do not use the sander as a replacement for a bandsaw or a planer. It is designed for fin- ish work, not rough dimensioning.

6.Keep your workpiece moving across the face of the drums or flap sander to prevent grooves or ruts in the surface to be sanded.

Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass- es 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 stan- dards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

This machine has a special safety ON/OFF switch with a removable locking tab. Removing the tab will prevent accidental starting of the machine. Should the locking tab be removed when the machine is running, it can still be shut off using the switch, it just will not be able to be restarted until the tab is reinserted.

Always make certain the switch is in the OFF position before connecting the machine to power. Never allow the workpiece to be touching the sanding attachments before the machine is turned ON.

Rotating sanding discs are dangerously abrasive. Use extreme caution when work- ing near sanding surfaces. Failure to exer- cise care while sanding could result in severe injury.
