ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE
until it is
completely assembled and installed according to the
instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can
cause serious injury.
2.
OBTAIN ADVICE
from your supervisor, instructor, or
another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this machine.
3.
FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES
and recommended
electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
4.
NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON”
before clearing
the
table/work area of all objects (tools, scraps of wood,
etc.).
5.
NEVER TURN THE MACHINE “ON”
with the
workpiece contacting the abrasive surface.
6.
SECURE THE MACHINE
to a supporting surface.
Vibration can cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip
over.
7.
REPLACE SLEEVES WHEN WORN OR DAMAGED.
A torn or damaged sleeve could be unexpectedly
expelled from the machine if not replaced
8.
PROPERLY SECURE SANDING DRUM
on spindle
before operating.
9.
DO NOT USE THE MACHINE
for wet sanding
applications.
10
CLEAN THE MACHINE
and dust collector thoroughly
when processing different types of workpieces (wood,
steel, or aluminum). Combining wood and metal dust
can create an explosion or fire hazard.
11.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
do not sand or polish
magnesium.
12.
HOLD WORKPIECE FIRMLY ON THE SANDER
TABLE.
To prevent loss of control use a solid grip.
13.
INSPECT MATERIALS FOR DEFECTS.
Knots and
splinters can be thrown from the machine with great
force. Make sure defective materials are not used on
this spindle sander.
14.
FOREIGN OBJECTS SUCH AS NAILS AND STAPLES
should be removed before sanding.
15.
AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS.
A sudden slip could cause a hand to
contact the abrasive sleeve.
16.
KEEP TABLE INSERT IN PLACE.
Use correctly sized
table insert for each sanding sleeve to reduce risk of
fingers being pinched or material being pulled down.
17.
ALWAYS FEED WORKPIECE AGAINST
the direction
of the sanding belt rotation.
18.
DO NOT SAND
very small or very thin workpieces
that cannot be safely controlled. Loss of control of the
workpiece can result in injury.
19.
TO MAINTAIN CONTROL,
properly support long or
wide work-pieces.
20.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-
UP WORK
on the table/work area when the machine is
running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into
the abrasive surface.
21.
TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”
, disconnect the machine
from the power source, and clean the table/work area
before leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE
“OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use.
