SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Protective Gear:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses or goggles to protect your eyes from debris and dust.
- Use a dust mask or respirator to avoid inhaling airborne particles generated during sanding.
Clothing:
- Wear long sleeves, long pants, and closed-toe shoes to protect your skin from abrasives, dust, and potential injuries.
Workspace Safety:
- Ensure that the work area is well-ventilated to minimize dust concentration.
- Keep the work area clean and free of clutter to prevent tripping hazards.
- Secure the workpiece using clamps or other suitable methods to prevent it from moving during sanding.
Machine Inspection:
- Before use, inspect the sanding machine and Velcro sanding disk for any damage or defects. Replace damaged or worn-out components promptly.
- Ensure that the sanding machine is properly maintained and in good working condition.
Proper Machine Operation:
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for operating the sanding machine.
- Use the appropriate speed setting on the machine for the type of material being sanded and the specific task at hand.
Grit Selection:
- Choose the correct grit of the sanding disk for the task. Starting with a coarser grit for material removal and progressing to finer grits for finishing is a common practice.
Avoid Excessive Pressure:
- Let the sanding disk do the work. Applying excessive pressure may lead to overheating, premature wear, and reduced effectiveness of the abrasive material.
- Maintain a firm but controlled grip on the sanding machine.
Workpiece Inspection:
- Inspect the workpiece for any defects, such as nails or screws, before sanding to avoid damage to the sanding disk and potential hazards.
Avoid Loose Clothing and Jewelry:
- Avoid wearing loose clothing, jewelry, or anything that could get caught in the sanding machine.
Switch Off when Not in Use:
- Turn off the sanding machine when changing sanding disks or when not actively sanding. This prevents accidental starts and enhances safety.
Training:
- Ensure that individuals using the sanding equipment are adequately trained in its safe operation and are aware of potential hazards.
