Read and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. Do not risk your safety by not reading!
Use this and other machinery with caution and respect, and always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Remember, no list of safety guidelines can be complete, and every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines can result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
•ALWAYS keep bystanders and yourself away from the infeed and outfeed ends when a workpiece is fed into the sander.
•ALWAYS secure aprons, clothing, and long hair away from all sander moving parts.
•ALWAYS use a respirator along with a dust collection system when sanding. Dust from some woods is toxic, so make sure you research the dangers of the specific species of wood you will sand.
•ALWAYS keep your hands away from the sanding drums during operation, and wear eye and hearing protection.
•ALWAYS keep fingers away from the conveyor and the underside of the workpiece during sander and conveyor operation. Otherwise, fingers can get pinched between the workpiece and the conveyor belt, and pull your hand into the machine causing serious injury or death!
•ALWAYS adjust the conveyor feed rate and sanding drum height, so when you feed the workpiece into the sander using light pressure, you do not overload the sander. Never force the workpiece into the sander.
•ALWAYS shut the sander down, let the drums come to a complete stop, and disconnect power or engage applicable
•ALWAYS keep this machine in correct adjustment and properly serviced. Never attempt to clear a jammed workpiece while the sander is running.
•ALWAYS replace the sandpaper when it is worn, and only use undamaged sandpaper.
•ALWAYS inspect the workpiece for nails, staples, knots, imbedded stones, and other material that could be dislodged and thrown from the machine during sanding operations.
•NEVER sand if there is any doubt about the stability or integrity of the workpiece.
•NEVER sand more than one workpiece at a time.
•NEVER sand stock smaller than 1⁄8" thick x 9" long.
•NEVER sand thin stock by using a “sled” (another board) under the workpiece.
•NEVER adjust the conveyor belt tracking when the sanding drums are engaged.
