Additional Safety Rules - Delta 31-396 Instruction Manual

12. USE THE RIGHT MACHINE. Don't force a machine
or an attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed. Damage to the machine and/or injury may
result.
13. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of
accessories and attachments not recommended by
Delta may cause damage to the machine or injury to the
user.
14. USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure
your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of
power and overheating. See the Extension Cord Chart
for the correct size depending on the cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
15. SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to
hold the workpiece when practical. Loss of control of a
workpiece can cause injury.
16. FEED THE WORKPIECE
DIRECTION OF THE ROTATION OF THE BLADE,
CUTTER, OR ABRASIVE SURFACE. Feeding it from
the other direction will cause the workpiece to be thrown
out a high speed.
17. DON'T FORCE THE WORKPIECE ON THE
MACHINE. Damage to the machine and/or injury may
result.
FOR ABRASIVE FINISHING MACHINES
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

electrical connections.
4. USE THE GUARDS WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

damaged or can't be tensioned properly, replace it.
6. CHECK FOR CORRECT BELT INSTALLATION,
and insure that the belt is tracking properly.
7. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from
abrasive surfaces.
8. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause a
hand to contact the sanding surface.
