* Sanding creates heat due to the friction. keep material moving to prevent damage to the sanding belt/disc.
* Parts of the machine can reach over 300 degrees C. Don't touch the heater or heat shield surrounding the heater.
* Never put your hand in a position that slipping could cause you to make contact with the belt or disc.
* Never put your hand in a position it could be pinched by the molding frame.
* Never reach over the machine while working or turning off the power. This can be very dangerous as you or your clothing could make contact with the spinning belt or disc.
* The formed plastic is very hot and sticky. It could stick to you and continue to burn if you touch it.
* Some types of plastics could give off toxic fumes when heated. Check the SDS before working with materials you are unfamiliar with.
* Avoid kickbacks by sanding on the correct side of the disc. Always sand on the downward side of the disc, which is just left of center on a disc rotating counterclockwise. Sanding on the wrong side is dangerous and can pull material out of your hands.
