Additional Safety for Disc Sanders

AVOID FINGER INJURIES. Never purposely touch the moving sanding disc. Take care to keep fingers away from sanding disc during operations. If the workpiece is small or difficult to hold, use a workpiece holding fixture. Sanding abrasives can quickly remove large amounts of skin!

AVOID WORKPIECE GRAB. Support the workpiece on the work table against the rotation direction of the sanding disc. Otherwise, the sanding disc could grab the workpiece and pull your hands into the moving disc.

AVOID KICKBACK. Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with directional arrows and keeping the guard in place. Always sand on the downward side of the disc—pay close attention to the direction of disc rotation to avoid placing the workpiece against the upward side of the disc. Avoid sanding with excessive force. Always keep the sanding disc guard installed.

ONLY SAND SAFE WORKPIECES. If there is any doubt about stability or integrity of the material to be sanded, do not sand it. Never attempt to sand any sort of cable, chain, or wire. If you do, entanglement can occur and cause serious injury.

DISCONNECT POWER WHEN SERVICING. Disconnect the machine from power and allow the disc to come to a complete stop before service, maintenance, or adjustments. Avoid pulling cord-connected machinery by the cord— instead, grasp the plug when disconnecting it from power.

POSITION TABLE CORRECTLY. Make sure the gap between the table and sanding disc does not exceed 3⁄16"—too large of a gap increases the risk of workpiece grab and pinch injuries, while too small of a gap increases the risk of sandpaper damage and restricts the removal of dust during operation.

ONLY USE SAFE SANDPAPER DISCS. Never use sanding discs that are damaged or torn; or if the adhesive is not sticking firmly. If sandpaper rips or comes off of the disc during operation, the workpiece or your hands could become entangled with the moving disc.

AVOID ENTANGLEMENT. Tie back long hair and remove any loose-fitting clothing or jewelry that could be caught up in the sanding disc or other moving machine parts.

BE AWARE OF DUST ALLERGIES. Be aware that certain woods may cause an allergic reaction in people and animals, especially when fine dust is created by sanding. Make sure you know what type of wood dust you will be exposed to in case there is a possibility of an allergic reaction.

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM FINE DUST. This machine puts fine dust particles into the air during operation. Wood dust is harmful to respiratory systems and long term exposure may lead to severe health problems. Reduce your risk by always using an adequate dust collection system and wearing a NIOSH- approved respirator during machine operation and for a short time after.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
