20. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. Keep the area around the machine clean and free of
scrap material, oil and grease.
21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
22. Make your workshop child proof with padlocks, master switches or by removing starter keys.
23. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
24. Maintain a balanced stance at all times so that you do not fall or lean against the sanding belt/disc or
other moving parts. Do not overreach or use excessive force to perform any machine operation.
25. 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 more safely.
26. Use recommended accessories; improper accessories may be hazardous.
27. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean for the best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating the tool and changing accessories.
28. Support the workpiece adequately; maintain control of the work at all times.
29. Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with directional arrows. When disc sanding, sand on the
downward side of the disc; sanding on the upward side can cause the workpiece to fly up causing
injury.
30. Sand with the grain of the wood.
31. Do not sand workpieces that are too small to be safely supported.
32. When sanding a large workpiece, use a support table to help stabilize it.
33. Turn off the machine and disconnect from power before cleaning. Use a brush or compressed air to
remove chips or debris — do not use your hands.
34. Do not stand on the machine. Serious injury could occur if the machine tips over.
35. Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave the machine until it
comes to a complete stop.
36. Remove loose items and unnecessary work pieces from the area before starting the machine.
