BELT / DISC SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
■
Do not operate the tool until it is completely assembled
and installed according to the instructions.
■
Provide adequate general or localized lighting.
■
Before work, check that the machine is placed on an
even surface with sufficient stability. For your own safety,
always mount the machine to a work bench using bolts.
■
Keep the surrounding area of the machine well
maintained and free of loose materials, such as chips
and cut-offs.
■
Make sure the sanding belt is installed in the correct
direction. See directional arrow on back of belt.
■
Always have the tracking adjusted properly so the belt
does not run off the pulleys.
■
Do not use sanding belts or pads that are damaged, torn,
or loose. Use only correct size sanding belt and pad.
■
Always sand on the downward side of the sanding disc
when using the disc sander. Sanding on the upward side
of the disc can cause the workpiece to fly out of position,
resulting in injury.
■
Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on the
table while the sander is operating.
■
Always hold the workpiece firmly when sanding.
■
Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical.
■
To minimize risk of tipping machine, always support long
workpieces.
■
Never sand more than one workpiece at a time. Do not
stack more than one workpiece on the machine base
at a time.
■
Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported. Do not
sand pieces of material that are too small to be safely
supported.
■
Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the
sanding belt or disc.
■
Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with directional
arrows.
■
Always maintain a clearance of 1.6 mm between the
work table and the machine.
■
Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the
path of the workpiece.
■
Machine should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, or
when not in use.
■
Never leave tool running unattended. Do not leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop.
