Additional Safety For Automatic Edgebanders - Grizzly G0854 Owner's Manual

Additional Safety for Automatic Edgebanders

Serious injury can occur from getting fingers pinched or crushed between workpiece and
conveyor belt, or getting hair/clothing entangled in conveyor belt. Touching hot parts can
cause serious burns. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using edgebander without
a respirator and adequate dust collection system. To minimize risk of injury, anyone operating
this machine MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
HAND PLACEMENT. The gap between the con-
veyor belt and support table increases risk of
pinching or crushing injuries. Minimize this risk by
keeping fingers clear of infeed area when feeding
workpieces.
AVOIDING ENTANGLEMENT. Becoming entan-
gled in conveyor belt can cause crushing injuries.
To avoid these hazards, DO NOT wear loose
clothing, 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.
BLADE REPLACEMENT.
blades, cutters, or guillotine, disconnect machine
from power, wear gloves to protect hands, and
wear safety glasses to protect eyes.
HEATED FENCE. Heated fence is very hot and
can cause serious burns. Avoid touching fence,
especially when feeding small workpieces.
WEAR PROPER PPE. Always wear safety glass-
es, respirator, and hearing protection when oper-
ating edgebander.
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 personal injury,
damage to equipment, or poor work results.

DUST COLLECTION. Never operate without
adequate dust collection system in place and run-
ning. Proper dust collection reduces dust in work
area, which decreases risk of long-term respira-
tory damage. However, a dust collector is not a
substitute for using a respirator. Always wear a
properly fitting respirator in addition to operating
the dust collector.
POWER DISCONNECT. To reduce risk of elec-
trocution or injury from unexpected startup, make
sure machine is turned OFF, disconnected from
power and air, and all moving parts have come
to a complete stop before changing cutting tools,
or starting any inspection, adjustment, or mainte-
nance procedure.
SAFETY DEVICES. Do not modify or disable any
limit switches, guards, or other safety devices on
When replacing this machine. Doing so will void the warranty and
expose operator to serious injury from mechani-
cal, electrical, and pneumatic components inside
machine.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION. When melted,
edgebanding glue pellets can produce vapors
and fumes that may irritate the nose, throat, and
respiratory tract. Only operate this machine with
proper ventilation near work area.
