Additional Safety for Oscillating Edge 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
SAFETY
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 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 surface. 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 injuries. 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 collection system in place and running. Dust collection 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 surfaces unless some type of jig is used
to maintain support and control when sanding
force is applied.
SANDPAPER CONDITION. Worn or damaged sand-
paper can aggressively grab workpiece, resulting in subsequent injuries from operator loss of
workpiece control. Always inspect sandpaper
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 creates a pinch point for fingers or workpieces;
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.

Refer to the
weight of your machine. Make sure that the
surface upon which the machine is placed will
bear the weight of the machine, additional
equipment that may be installed on the
machine, and the heaviest workpiece that will
be used. Additionally, consider the weight of
the operator and any dynamic loading that may
occur when operating the machine.
Space Allocation
Consider the largest size of workpiece that
will be processed through this machine and
provide enough space around the machine

Anchoring to Floor
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping or
shifting and reduces vibration that may occur during
operation, resulting in a machine that runs slightly quieter
and feels more solid.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected
(hardwired) to the power supply, local codes may require
that it be anchored to the floor.
If not required by any local codes, fastening the machine
to the floor is an optional step. If you choose not to do
this with your machine, we recommend placing it on
machine mounts, as these provide an easy method for
leveling and they have vibration-absorbing pads.
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see Figure) are a
popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor,
because the anchors sit flush with the floor surface,
making it easy to unbolt and move the machine later, if
needed. However, anytime local codes apply, you MUST
follow the anchoring methodology specified by the code.

Do not confuse this CFM recommendation with the rating
of the dust collector. To determine the CFM at the dust
port, you must consider these variables: (1) CFM rating of
the dust collector, (2) hose type and length between the
dust collector and the machine, (3) number of branches
or wyes, and (4) amount of other open lines throughout
the system. Explaining how to calculate these variables
is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert or
purchase a good dust collection “how-to” book.
Dust Collection
Recommended CFM at Dust Port: ................ 400 CFM
There are two 4" dust-collection ports for the sander
that should be connected to a dust collector. The port
locations are shown in Figure 11.
This machine creates substantial
amounts of dust during operation.
Breathing airborne dust on a regular
basis can result in permanent respiratory illness. Reduce your risk by wearing a respirator and capturing the dust
with a dust collection system.
Tools Needed
Phillips Head Screwdriver #2 ..................................1
To connect your machine to a dust-collection system,
do these steps:
1. Use 4" diameter hose and clamps to connect a dust-collection system to your dust ports (see Figure 11).
2. Tug the hose to make sure it does not come off.
Note: A tight fit is necessary for proper
performance.
