USE this and other machinery with caution
and respect, and always consider safety
first, as it applies to your individual work-
ing conditions. Remember, no list of safety
guidelines can be complete, and every
shop environment is different. Failure to
follow guidelines can result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment and/or
poor work results.
READ and understand this
entire instruction manual
before using this machine.
Serious personal injury
may occur if safety and
operational information is
not understood and fol-
lowed. DO NOT risk your
safety by not reading!
• ALWAYS keep bystanders and yourself away when a workpiece is fed into the sander.
• ALWAYS secure aprons, clothing, and long hair away from all sander moving parts.
• ALWAYS use a respirator along with a dust collection system when sanding. Dust from some wood is toxic,
so make sure you research the dangers of the specific species of wood you will sand.
• ALWAYS keep your hands away from the sanding belt during operation, and wear eye and hearing
protection.
• ALWAYS adjust the conveyor feed rate and sanding drum height, so when you feed the workpiece
into the sander using light pressure, you do not overload the sander. Never force the workpiece into
the sander.
• ALWAYS shut the sander down, let the belt come to a complete stop, and disconnect power or
engage applicable safety-lock devices before you service, adjust, troubleshoot, or leave the
machine unattended.
• ALWAYS keep this machine in correct adjustment and properly serviced. Never attempt to clear a
jammed workpiece while the sander is running.
• ALWAYS replace the sandpaper when it is worn, and only use undamaged sandpaper.
• ALWAYS inspect the workpiece for nails, staples, knots, imbedded stones, and other material that
could be dislodged and thrown from the machine during sanding operations.
• NEVER sand if there is any doubt about the stability or integrity of the workpiece.
• NEVER sand more than one workpiece at a time.
• NEVER sand tapered or pointed stock with the point facing the feed direction.
• NEVER leave the machine running unattended.
• NEVER operate the sander without an adequate dust collection system in place and running.
