This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol
on your machine or in this manual, BE ALERT TO THE

POTENTIAL FOR PERSONAL INJURY!

Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.

UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS

A signal word – DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION is
used with the safety alert symbol. DANGER identifies a
hazard or unsafe practice that will result in severe Injury

cause cancer, birth defects, and long term respiratory damage. Be
aware of the dust hazards associated with all types of materials.

DUST PARTICLES AND IGNITION SOURCES

are high. Such areas include locations near pilot lights, open
flames, or other ignition sources.

MOVING BELT ABRASIONS

PROTECT AGAINST NOISE

Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause impairment or loss of
hearing. Wear suitable hearing protective devices such as ear muffs
or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud
noises.

HIGH VOLTAGE

USE CAUTION IN HIGH VOLTAGE AREAS. DO NOT assume the

power to be off.

(FOLLOW PROPER LOCKOUT PROCEDURES)

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Wood working can be dangerous if safe and proper operating procedures are not followed. As
with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with the operation of the product. Using
the machine with respect and caution will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator
may result.
Safety equipment such as guards, push sticks, hold-downs, feather boards, goggles, dust

masks and hearing protection can reduce your potential for injury. But even the best guard won’t

make up for poor judgment, carelessness or inattention. Always use common sense and
exercise caution in the workshop. If a procedure feels dangerous, don’t try it. REMEMBER: Your
personal safety is your responsibility.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN

1. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE
MACHINE. Learn the machine’s application and limitations as well as the specific hazards.

2. Only trained and qualified personnel should operate this machine.

3. Make sure guards are in place and in proper working order before operating machinery.

4. Remove any adjusting tools. Before operating the machine, make sure any adjusting tools
have been removed.

feeding the stock. NEVER sand more than one piece part at a time or jam the piece part
into the sander. Firmly grasp the piece part in both hands and using light pressure, ease the
piece part into the machine.

6. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.

moving machine parts. Protective clothing and steel toe shoes are recommended when
using machinery. Wear a restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.

10. Hand Protection. DO NOT place hands near or in contact with the sanding drum during
machine operation.

11. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ISO approved impact safety goggles

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.)

21. Belt Adjustment. NEVER attempt a belt tracking adjustment while the drum sander is
running.

22. DO NOT touch live electrical components or parts.

23. Be Sure all equipment is properly installed and grounded according to national, state, and
local codes. If machine is equipped with a three-prong plug, it should be plugged into a
three-hole electrical receptacle. If an adapter is used to accommodate a two-prong
receptacle, the adapter plug must be attached to a known ground. Never remove the third
prong.

24. Inspect power and control cables periodically. Replace if damaged or bare wires are
exposed. Bare wiring can kill!

25. Maintain machine in top condition. Keep clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

until it comes to a complete stop.

28. Make sure machine is disconnected from power supply while motor is being mounted,
connected or reconnected.

29. Sanding Paper on Drum. DO NOT operate the Drum sander if the sand paper is damaged
or badly worn. Replace at once.

30. Inspect Piece Part. Always inspect piece part for staples, nails, knots, or other
imperfections that could become projectiles causing personal injury.

31. Sand Appropriate Material. Only use this sander for natural wood stock. It is NOT
recommended to sand particle board, plastics, laminates, medium-density fibre board
(MDF), metal, glass, ceramics, or products containing asbestos or lead paint. Some of these
materials contain hazardous dust and will shorten the life span of the belt.

32. Warning: The dust generated by certain woods and wood products can be injurious to your
health. Always operate machinery in well ventilated areas and provide for proper dust
removal. Use a wood dust collection system whenever possible.
