Safety
- Sanding creates heat due to the friction. Be careful not to burn your fingers.
- Never put your hand in a position that slipping could cause you to make contact with the belt or disc.
- Never reach over the machine.
- Use a brush when clearing sawdust from the tables, not your hands.
- Use light pressure when removing material. Never try to force feed the machine.
- Avoid kickbacks by sanding on the correct side of the disc. Do not sand on the right hand portion of the disc.
