Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-
cifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SAFETY: Specific Rules
1. Before you turn on the machine, make sure
everyone is clear of it. Keep hands away from
abrasive belt.
2. Never remove safety guards during operation.
3. Make sure the abrasive belt is not torn or
loose.
4. Make sure the direction of rotation is the same
as that marked on the machine label. If not, the
power connection must be changed.
5. Make sure the abrasive belt is tracking prop-
erly.
6. Support your workpiece with the work table.
7. When front work table is to be used at an in-
cline, check that the work table is firmly fixed on
the machine.
8. Sand with the grain of the wood.
9. Hold the workpiece firmly, to prevent it being
driven from your hands.

belt.
11. Do not put excess pressure on the abrasive
belt. It is not necessary and will only lead to dam-
age to the belt or the workpiece.
