Additional Safety for Wide Belt Sanders
Serious injury or death can occur from hands getting trapped between workpiece and conveyor
table, getting entangled in rotating parts inside machine, or lacerated by sanding drum.
Workpieces thrown by sander can strike nearby operators. Long-term respiratory damage can
occur from using sander without proper use of a respirator and an adequate dust collection
system. To minimize risk of getting hurt or killed, anyone operating machine MUST completely
heed hazards and warnings below.
FEEDING WORKPIECE. DO NOT place fingers
under bottom of workpiece while feeding it into
sander. Fingers can become pinched between
workpiece and conveyor.
ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS. DO NOT wear
loose clothing, gloves, or jewelry, and tie back long
hair. Never reach inside operating machine or try
clearing jammed workpiece. Keep all guards in
place and secure, and all doors closed.
SANDING DRUM CONTACT. Rotating sandpa-
per can remove a large amount of flesh in a few
seconds. Keep hands away from rotating sanding
drum(s) during operation. Never touch moving
sandpaper on purpose.
WORKPIECE KICKBACK. A workpiece can be
ejected out the front of sander at high rate of
speed, and hit operator or bystanders. Never stand
in-line with workpiece, never feed more than one
workpiece at a time, and always adjust pressure
rollers below sanding roller.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to decrease the
risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.

MINIMUM STOCK DIMENSION. To avoid kick-
back, never sand workpieces below minimum
specifications listed in Data Sheet.
ADJUSTMENTS/MAINTENANCE. Make sure
machine is turned OFF, disconnected from power
and air, and all moving parts are completely
stopped before doing adjustments or maintenance.
SANDING DUST. Sanding creates large amounts
of dust and flying chips that can lead to eye injury
or respiratory illness. Reduce risk of these hazards
by wearing approved eye and respiratory protec-
tion when using sander.
DUST COLLECTION. Never operate without ade-
quate dust collection system in place and running.
Proper dust collection reduces dust in work area,
which decreases risk of long-term respiratory dam-
age, but it is not a substitute for using a respirator.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
