SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.)
5. Remove any adjusting tools. Before operating the machine, make sure any adjusting tools
have been removed.
6. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
7. Feed Rate. Never jam a piece part against the sanding surface. This can cause the piece
part to kick back causing personal injury or damage to the machine. Always hold the piece
part firmly and ease it against the spindle with light pressure.
8. Placement of Hands. To avoid personal injury, DO NOT place hands near, or in contact with
the sanding surface.
9. Sanding Sleeves. Sleeves that are worn or damaged can tear apart and become entangled
in or thrown out from the spindle resulting in personal injury.
10. Overloading machine. By overloading the machine you may cause injury from flying parts.
DO NOT exceed the specified machine capacities.
11. Dress appropriate. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving machine parts. Protective clothing and steel toe shoes are recommended when
using machinery. Wear a restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
12. Foreign Material. ALWAYS inspect stock for staples, nails, knots, and other imperfections
that could become projectiles causing serious bodily harm.
13. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ISO approved impact safety goggles
14. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. DO NOT reach over or
across a running machine.
15. Handling Piece Part. Hold the piece part with both hands, or use an appropriate jig to help
prevent the piece part from being thrown from the machine.
16. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate any tool or
machine when you are tired.
17. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool or machine, carefully check any part that
appears damaged. Check for binding of moving parts that may affect proper machine
operation.
18. Sanding Direction. NEVER sand pointed or tapered stock with the point facing the feed
direction, which could cause the piece part to be thrown from the machine.
19. Observe work area conditions. DO NOT use machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. DO NOT use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
