Additional Safety Instructions For Sanders
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 follow guidelines could
result in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment or poor work results.
1. BE AWARE OF BELT or drum rotation
when sanding.
2. KEEP FINGERTIPS AWAY from the mov-
ing belt or drum. Serious injury could result
if skin contacts abrasives or moving parts.
3. NEVER USE EXCESSIVE FORCE when
sanding. Doing this greatly increases the
chances of personal injury and motor over-
load.
4. ALWAYS FEED THE WORK against the
direction of rotation.
5. EVEN IF YOU HAVE A reliable method of
dust collection, use a dust mask or respira-
tor when sanding, as well as eye and ear
protection.
6. IF THERE IS ANY doubt as to the stability
or integrity of the material to be sanded,
don’t sand it.
7. DO NOT OPERATE SANDER with a dam-
aged or badly worn drum or belt.
8. WHEN DRUM SANDING, feed material
into the portion of the drum spinning down
toward the table.
9. TIE BACK LONG HAIR and remove any
loose-fitting clothing or jewelry that could be
caught up in the sander’s drum, belt, or
other moving machine parts.
10. HABITS — GOOD OR BAD — are hard to
break. Develop good habits and safety will
become second nature to you.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to launch flying debris which could cause
eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or
goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).

ated with the Model G1015 Knife Belt
