Additional.Safety.for.Combo.Sanders
Serious injury or death can occur if fingers, clothing, jewelry, or hair get entangled in moving
components. Impact injuries can occur from kickback if workpiece is improperly fed into moving
sandpaper. Serious pinch injuries can occur from touching in-running nip point between table and
sanding surface. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using sander without proper use
of a respirator. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely
heed the hazards and warnings below.
SANDPAPER.CONDITION. Worn or damaged sand-
paper can aggressively grab workpiece, result-
ing in subsequent injuries from operator loss
of workpiece control. Always inspect sandpa-
per before operation and replace if worn or
damaged.
WORKPIECE.SUPPORT.&.HAND.PLACEMENT.
Rotating sandpaper can remove a large
amount of flesh quickly, and kickback can
occur with violent force if workpiece is not
properly supported during operation. Always
sand with workpiece firmly against table or
another support device. Never touch moving
sandpaper on purpose.
IN-RUNNING.NIP.POINTS. The gap between mov-
ing sandpaper and fixed table/support cre-
ates 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 this risk by adjusting table/support to
no more than 1
⁄
16
" away from sandpaper. For
spindle sanders, always use the table insert
that fits closest diameter of installed drum.
MINIMUM.STOCK.DIMENSION. Small workpieces
can be aggressively pulled from your hands,
causing contact with sanding surface. Always
use a jig or other holding device when sanding
small workpieces, and keep hands and fingers
at least 2" away from sanding surface.
WORKPIECE.INSPECTION.
Nails, staples, knots,
or other imperfections in workpiece can be
dislodged and thrown from sander at a high
rate of speed at people, or cause damage to
sandpaper or sander. Never sand stock that
has embedded foreign objects or questionable
imperfections.
SANDPAPER.DIRECTION. Feeding workpiece
incorrectly can cause it to be thrown from
machine, striking operator or bystanders, or
causing your hands to slip into the moving
sandpaper. To reduce these risks, only sand
against direction of sandpaper travel, ensure
workpiece is properly supported, and avoid
introducing sharp edges into moving sandpaper
on leading side of workpiece.
FEEDING.WORKPIECE.
Jamming workpiece into
sanding surface could cause it to be grabbed
aggressively, pulling hands into sanding sur-
face. Firmly grasp workpiece in both hands
and ease it into sandpaper using light pressure.
AVOIDING.ENTANGLEMENT.
Entanglment in mov-
ing parts can cause pinching and crushing inju-
ries. Keep all guards in place and closed. DO
NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry,
and tie back long hair.
SANDING.DUST.
Sanding creates large amounts of
dust that can lead to eye injury or respiratory
illness. Reduce risk by wearing approved eye
and respiratory protection when using sander.
Never operate without adequate dust collec-
tion system in place and running. Dust collec-
tion is not a substitute for using a respirator.
WORKPIECE.INTEGRITY.
Sanding fragile work-
pieces can result in loss of control, resulting in
abrasion injuries, impact injuries, or damage
to sandpaper. Only sand solid workpieces that
can withstand power sanding forces. Make sure
workpiece shape is properly supported; avoid
sanding workpieces without flat bottom sur-
faces unless some type of jig is used to main-
tain support and control when sanding force is
applied.
