Additional Safety For Edgebanders - Grizzly G0825 Owner's Manual

Additional Safety for Edgebanders

Serious injury can occur from getting fingers pinched or crushed between workpiece and feed
rollers, or getting hair/clothing entangled in feed rollers. Touching hot parts can cause serious
burns. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using edgebander without a respirator
and adequate ventilation. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating this machine MUST
completely heed hazards and warnings below.
HAND PLACEMENT. The gap between the feed
roller and glue spindle presents a risk of pinching
or crushing injuries. Minimize this risk by keeping
fingers clear of infeed area when feeding edge-
banding.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entan-
gled in feed rollers can cause crushing injuries. To
avoid these hazards, DO NOT wear loose cloth-
ing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long hair.
GLUE POT & GLUE APPLICATOR. The glue pot
and glue applicator get very hot and can cause
serious burns. Always wear gloves when adding
glue to glue pot. When servicing glue pot and
applicator, make sure machine is turned OFF,
disconnected from power, and components have
properly cooled before handling.
SAFETY DEVICES. Do not modify or disable any
guards or other safety devices on this machine.
Doing so will void the warranty and expose opera-
tor to serious injury from mechanical and electri-
cal components inside machine.

WEAR PROPER PPE. Always wear safety glass-
es and respirator when operating edgebander.
Always wear gloves when adding glue to glue pot.
DISCONNECT POWER. To reduce risk of elec-
trocution or injury from unexpected startup, make
sure machine is turned OFF, disconnected from
power, all moving parts have come to a complete
stop, and glue pot has cooled before starting any
inspection, adjustment, or maintenance proce-
dure.
HEATED FENCE. Heated fence is very hot and
can cause serious burns. Avoid touching fence,
especially when feeding small workpieces.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION. When melted,
edgebanding glue pellets can produce vapors
and fumes that may irritate the nose, throat, and
respiratory tract and cause a risk of long-term
respiratory damage. Only operate this machine
with proper ventilation near work area. Always
wear a properly fitting respirator with filters rated
for organic vapor.
Pay close attention to heated surfaces to
avoid accidental contact while operating
machine and when preparing machine for
storage. Store machine only when heated
elements are properly cooled.
