Additional Safety for Drum Sanders Serious injury or death can occur from getting hands trapped between workpiece and conveyor table and being pulled into machine, or becoming entangled in rotating parts inside machine. Workpieces thrown by sander can strike nearby operator or bystanders with significant force. Long-term respiratory damage can occur from using sander without proper use of a respirator.
SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY Availability Before installing the machine, consider the avail- ability and proximity of the required power supply Serious injury could occur if you connect circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the machine to power before completing setup requirements for this machine, a new circuit must process.

Grounding & Plug Requirements Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The This machine MUST be grounded. In the event wire with green insulation (with or without yellow of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire.
IMPORTANT: Save all packaging materials until you are completely satisfied with the machine and have resolved any issues between Grizzly or the shipping agent. You MUST have the original pack- aging to file a freight claim. It is also extremely helpful if you need to return your machine later.
Inventory The following is a list of items shipped with your machine. Before beginning setup, lay these items out and inventory them. If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g. a nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or for the sake of expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store.
