21.Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.

22.Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are careless acts that can result in serious injury.

23.Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.

24.Stand to one side of the conveyor and make sure no one else is standing in line with the conveyor while feeding into the machine. Should a part slip while being fed, it may exit the machine at a high rate of speed and can cause injuries to anyone standing directly in front of the infeed.

25.Use the right tool at the correct speed and feed rate. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. The right tool will do the job better and safer.

26.Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.

27.Maintain tools with care. Keep abrasives clean for the best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating the machine and changing accessories.

28.Always feed stock against the rotation of the drum.

29.Keep your hands clear when feeding parts onto the conveyor. The part will be forced down as it begins to feed, causing a pinching action between the part and the conveyor bed. Never reach into a running machine. Turn off sander and disconnect from power before attempting to retrieve parts from beneath the drum.

30.Turn off the machine and disconnect from power before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.

31.Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.

32.Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.

33.Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
