ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
For shops with frequent visitors or multiple operators, it is
advisable to establish a Safety Zone around shop machinery. A clearly defined “no-go” zone on the floor around
each machine can help avoid accidents that could cause injury to either the operator or the shop visitor. It is advis-
able to take a few moments to either paint (using non-slip paint) or using tape, define on the floor the limits or
perimeter of each machines safety zone. Take steps to ensure that all operators and shop visitors are aware that
these areas are off limits whenever a machine is running for everyone but the individual operating the unit.
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP / ESTABLISHING A SAFETY ZONE
PLACEMENT WITHIN THE SHOP
This machine should be installed and operated only on
a solid, flat and stable floor that is able to support the
weight of the sander (570 lbs/259 kg) and the operator.
Using the dimensions shown in Fig. 2 as a guideline,
plan for placement within your shop that will allow the
operator to work unencumbered and unobstructed by
foot traffic (either passing shop visitors or other shop
workers) or other tools or machinery.
1.
Install the conveyor table adjustment crank han-
dle,
, on the shaft located on the top left end of
the sander. The slots in the crank handle must be
aligned with the spring pin on the shaft,
.
