Additional Safety for Belt Sanders
5. iNSpEcTiNg WORKpiEcES. always
inspect workpiece for nails, staples, knots,
and other imperfections that could be dis-
lodged and thrown from the machine during
sanding operations. do not use workpieces
that show any of these conditions.
6. REpLAciNg SANDiNg BELT. replace
sanding belt when it becomes worn. a worn
sanding belt can break apart during use,
causing personal injury or damage to the
machine or workpiece. do not operate
the sander with a damaged or badly worn
sanding belt.
7. MAiNTENANcE AND ADJuSTMENTS.
perform machine inspections and mainte-
nance service promptly when called for. a
poorly maintained machine can fall apart
during use and eject components, causing
personal injury. disconnect power before
performing maintenance or adjustments on
the sander to avoid electrocution hazards.
8. EXpERiENciNg DifficuLTiES. any
problem must be investigated and correct-
ed with the power disconnected, and after
all moving parts have come to a complete
stop.
1. RESpiRATOR AND SAfETy gLASSES.
always wear a respirator and safety glass-
es while operating the machine. dust and
chips are created when sanding. some
debris will be ejected, becoming hazards to
the eyes and lungs.
2. cLOTHiNg. do not wear loose clothing
while operating this machine. loose cloth-
ing presents an entanglement hazard and
could lead to personal injury. roll up or
button sleeves at the cuff.
3. HAND pROTEcTiON. do not place
hands near, or in contact with, sanding belt
during operation. do not allow fingers to
get pinched between the workpiece and
the table. this may pull the operator’s hand
into the machine and cause serious injury!
4. fEEDiNg STOcK. Firmly grasp the
workpiece in both hands and ease it into
the machine against the direction of rota-
tion using light pressure. do not jam the
workpiece into the machine during opera-
tion. never sand more than one piece of
stock at a time.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
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 per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
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 pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
