Sanders

Hold small or thin pieces of stock in a hig or holding device to prevent hand or finger injuries.
Wear proper PPE where required such as safety glasses or goggles, respiratory protection, and hearing protection suitable to the level and frequency of noise while using a sander.
Adjust work rests on all manually fed sanders to provide minimum clearance between the rest and the belt. Ensure the work rest is secured properly.
If your sander has an exhaust system, do not use the sander without it.
