5. Form a habit of checking to see that all extra
equipment such as adjusting keys, wrenches,
scrap, stock, and cleaning rags are removed away
from the machine before turning on.
6. Keep safety guards in place at all times when the
machine is in use. If removed for maintenance
purposes, use extreme caution and replace the
guards immediately when maintenance is complete.
7. Make sure the drum sander is firmly secured to the
floor before use.
8. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
machine, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and
any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced.
9. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area
and non-glare, overhead lighting.
10. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of
scrap material, oil and grease.
11. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.
Keep children away.
12. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks,
master switches or by removing starter keys.
13. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-
play” are careless acts that can result in serious
injury.
14. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you
do not fall or lean against the sanding belt or other
moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive
force to perform any machine operation.
15. 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.
16. Use recommended accessories; improper
accessories may be hazardous.
17. Maintain machinery with care. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
18. Turn off the machine before cleaning. Use a brush
or compressed air to remove dust or debris — do
not use your hands.
19. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could
occur if the machine tips over.
20. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn
the power off and do not leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
21. At all times hold the stock firmly.
22. Do not use this sander for other than it intended
use. If used for other purposes, Delta Power
Equipment Company Inc., disclaims any real or
implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any
injury or damage which may result from that use.
