Workpiece Inspection; Horizontal & Edge Sanding - Grizzly G1014Z Owner's Manual

Workpiece
Inspection
Some workpieces are not safe to sand or may
require modification before they are safe to sand.
Before sanding, inspect all workpieces for the
following:
Material Type: This machine is intended for
•
sanding natural and man-made wood prod-
ucts. This machine is NOT designed to sand
metal, glass, stone, tile, plastics, drywall,
cement backer board, laminate products, etc.
Sanding improper materials increases risk of
respiratory harm to operator and bystanders
due to especially fine dust inherently created
by all types of sanding operations—even
if a dust collector is used. Additionally, life
of machine and sanding belts/discs will be
greatly reduced (or immediately damaged)
from sanding improper materials or from
exposure to fine dust created when doing so.
Foreign Objects: Nails, staples, dirt, rocks
•
and other foreign objects are often embed-
ded in wood. While sanding, these objects
can become dislodged and tear sanding
belt or disc. Always visually inspect your
workpiece for these items. If they cannot be
removed, DO NOT sand the workpiece.
• Wet or "Green" Stock: Sanding wood with a
moisture content over 20% causes unneces-
sary clogging and wear on the sanding belt
or disc, increases the risk of kickback, and
yields poor results.
• Excessive Glue
workpieces with excess glue or finish will load
up the abrasive, reducing its usefulness and
lifespan.
