Sander Safety - Grizzly G1071 Instruction Manual

When the guidelines illustrated in this manual
are followed, the Model G1071 is a safe and
enjoyable tool to use, even for the novice
1. MAINTAIN A SECURE GRIP ON THE
WORKPIECE. The spindle rotates at
more than 1700 R.P.M. If control is lost,
the workpiece could be shot from the
machine at extreme speed.
2. CREATE A SAFETY ZONE AROUND
THE SANDING SURFACE. If you can't
control your workpiece with your hands
at least 6" away from the sanding
sleeve, you should create a jig or other
device to hold the workpiece safely.
3. DON'T OPERATE THE SPINDLE
SANDER if the proper insert is not in
place.
4. REPLACE SLEEVES WHEN WORN
OR DAMAGED. A torn or damaged
sleeve could be unexpectedly expelled
from the machine if not replaced.
5. KEEP YOUR WORKPIECE SOLIDLY
ON THE SANDER TABLE. A well-
secured workpiece is less likely to lose
control during sanding operations.
6. INSPECT
DEFECTS. Knots and splinters can
shoot from the machine with great
force. Make sure defective materials
are not used on the spindle sander.
Foreign objects such as nails and sta-
ples should also be removed before
sanding.
7. TURN OFF THE SANDER WHEN NOT
IN USE. Never leave a machine run-
ning unattended.
8. ALWAYS wear eye protection and a
respirator.

9. BE SURE TO OBSERVE ELECTRI-
CAL REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS
FUSE SIZING, WIRE SIZING, AND
GROUNDING.
10. ENSURE THAT THE SWITCH IS IN
THE OFF POSITION BEFORE PLUG-
GING THE MACHINE INTO ITS
POWER SOURCE.
11. DO NOT stand directly in line with sand-
ing accessories when turning the
machine on.
12. DO NOT force the workpiece against
the spindle during operation. Firmly
grasp the workpiece in both hands and
ease it against the spindle using light
pressure.
13. DO NOT wear loose clothing while
operating this machine. Roll up sleeves
or button sleeves at the cuff.
14. DO NOT place hands near, or in contact
with sanding sleeve during operation.
15. PERFORM MACHINE INSPECTIONS
and maintenance service promptly
when called for.
16. ANY PROBLEM that is concerned at all
with any moving parts or accessories
must be investigated and corrected with
the power disconnected, and after
everything has come to a complete
stop.
It cannot be assumed that additional safety
measures are not needed under particular or
exceptional circumstances or conditions.
Consider safety at all times.
