Employer is responsible to perform a hazard/PPE assessment before work activity.
Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices.
•
Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed. Only allow trained/supervised
people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove
switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use.
•
Only use machine in clean, dry, and safe environment. Make sure there are no flammable or
combustible materials near the machine. Sparks cause from metal can cause ignition.
•
Always disconnect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing
tooling, cleaning or servicing machine.
•
Only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always
disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.
•
Always wear approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing
machinery.
•
Do not wear clothing or jewelry that can be caught in moving parts. Always tie back or cover
long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.
•
Dust created by machinery operations may cause cancer, birth defects, eye damage,
raspatory issues or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with
each workpiece material.
•
Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery.
•
Do not set or leave tools on machine while machine is in use.
•
Make sure machine is on stable ground, movement during operation increases risk of injury
or machine damage.
•
Turn machine off when not in use, never leave machine running unattended.
•
Inspect machine before each use for damaged or loose parts.
•
The gap between moving grinding belt and table/support creates a pinch point for fingers or
workpieces; the larger this gap is, the greater the risk of fingers or workpieces getting caught
in it. Minimize the risk of pinch and crush injuries by adjusting table/support to no more than
1/16" away from belt.
•
Always use a jig when working on small workpieces, always keep fingers at least 2” away
from work area.
•
Do not wear gloves while grinding.
•
Worn or damaged grinding belts can fly apart and throw debris, or aggressively grab
workpiece, causing injury from operator loss of workpiece control. Always inspect belt before
operation and replace if worn or damaged.
•
Only grind against direction of sandpaper travel, ensure workpiece is properly supported,
and avoid introducing sharp edges into moving belt on the leading side of the workpiece.
