Additional Safety for Drum Sanders
FEEDING STOCK. Do not allow anyone to stand
at the outfeed end when feeding your stock. Never
sand more than one piece of stock at a time. DO
NOT jam the workpiece into the machine during
operation. Firmly grasp the workpiece in both
hands and ease it into the machine using light
pressure.
MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSIONS. Do not sand
any stock thinner than
1
⁄
8
", narrower than 2", or
shorter than 9". Do not sand thin stock by using
a “dummy” board under your workpiece.
CLOTHING. Do not wear loose clothing while
operating this machine. Roll up or button sleeves
at the cuff.
HAND PROTECTION. Do not place hands near,
or in contact with, sanding drums during opera-
tion. DO NOT allow fingers to get pinched
between board and conveyor belt during opera-
tion.
INSPECTING WORKPIECES. Always inspect
workpiece for nails, staples, knots, and other
imperfections that could be dislodged and thrown
from the machine during sanding operations.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. Never leave the
machine running unattended.
DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM. Never operate
the sander without an adequate dust collection
system in place and running.
REPLACING SANDING PAPER. Replace sand-
ing paper when it becomes worn.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. Any problem,
with the exception of conveyor belt tracking that
is concerned with any moving parts or accesso-
ries, must be investigated and corrected with the
power disconnected, and after all moving parts
have come to a complete stop.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS. Never
attempt to adjust conveyor belt tracking when the
sanding drums are engaged. Perform machine
inspections and maintenance service promptly
when called for. Disconnect power before per-
forming maintenance or adjustments on the
sander.
RESPIRATOR AND SAFETY GLASSES.
Always wear a respirator and safety glasses while
operating the machine. Dust and chips are cre-
ated when sanding. Some debris will be ejected,
becoming hazards to the eyes and lungs.
Main injury risks of drum sanders are: crushing or abrasion injuries from getting entangled
between conveyor belt and sanding drums; impact injuries from being struck by workpieces
that kickback or are thrown from the machine, or broken or dislodged components; respiratory
damage or eye injury from to sawdust. To minimize your risk of these hazards, always heed the
following warning information:
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents
are frequently caused by lack of familiarity
or failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored,
serious personal injury may occur.
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies
to your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury, damage to equip-
ment, or poor work results.
