Park Rapids School District has a goal to be in full compliance with this law and is following the spirit, as well as, the letter of the law. As a matter of policy, the district shall continue to maintain a safe and healthful environment for our community’s youth and employees. In keeping with this legislation, all buildings (including portables and support buildings) owned or leased by Park Rapids School District were inspected by an EPA accredited inspector and samples were analyzed by an independent laboratory. Based on the inspection, the school prepared and the state approved a comprehensive management plan for handling the asbestos located within its buildings safely and responsibly. Furthermore, Park Rapids School District has completed the 3-Year Re-inspections required by AHERA. Our district buildings, where asbestos containing materials were found, are under repair, removal and Operations and Maintenance. This past year, Park Rapids School District conducted the following with respect to its asbestos containing building materials: * Continued our Operations and Maintenance Program * Completed six-month periodic inspections * A 3-year re-inspection was completed and all materials are in good condition. Federal law requires a periodic walk-through (called “surveillance”) every six months of each area containing asbestos. MacNeil Environmental, Inc will accomplish this under contract. Short-term workers (outside contractors-i.e., telephone repair workers, electricians, and exterminators) must be provided information regarding the location of asbestos in which they may come in contact. All short- term workers shall contact the head custodian in the building before commencing work to be given this information. Park Rapids School District has a list of the locations and types of asbestos containing materials found in each school building and the description and timetable for their proper management. Century School is free of asbestos. The Frank White and High School buildings only have asbestos located in areas students do not have access to.

  • Versatile Vise
    Great Gear Versatile vise Whether cutting dovetails or trimming tenons, I’ve got a great setup for joinery work with the solid maple Moxon vise from Lake Erie Toolworks. As shown in the photo, the rear jaw extends beyond the movable front jaw to facilitate quick, solid clamping to your workbench. The vise screws turn smoothly, and their faceted handles make it easy to clamp workpieces securely. Depending on the project, I might clamp the vise to my workbench or assembly table to position the work right where it’s needed. But the portability doesn’t end there. The lightweight vise totes easily for working in different shops. My smaller “Lite” version (shown) accommodates 14"-wide boards. The full-sized version, available at Woodcraft, has a clamping capacity of 24". Lake Erie Toolworks Moxon Vise —Chad McClung, chief editor #427359, $219.99 60 Prices subject to change without notice.

  • Trouble Shooting Guide & How to Replace Cutter And
    TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE & HOW TO REPLACE CUTTER AND GEARS OF JAKAR 5151 ELECTRIC PENCIL SHARPENER Although the original components have been factory fitted using special tooling no special skills are required to perform these basic tasks. Should you have any difficulties please do not hesitate to contact us for assistance. Your statutory rights remain unaffected. IMPORTANT ALWAYS DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM MAINS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TASKS. PLEASE PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO STEP 3 REGARDING THE SMALL SPRING UNDER THE SECTION ‘REMOVING THE MOTOR’ POSSIBLE REASONS WHY YOUR MACHINE MAY HAVE STOPPED WORKING. 1. BROKEN SHAVING TRAY - Ensure that the small plastic ‘nib’ at the rear of the shaving tray is intact. This is a safety device without which the machine will not operate. If it breaks, replacement trays are available. 2. OVERHEATING -The machine has a built-in devise to prevent the motor from overheating. If, after continuous use within a relatively short period of time, the machine stops working, this is probably because the overheating device has been activated. Allow the machine to cool for at least 30 minutes after which the motor should re-set. 3. PIECE OF LEAD LODGED IN THE CUTTER AREA: Should a piece of lead breaks off from the tip of the pencil and becomes lodged in the cutter area this may cause the small metal ‘stop plate’ to the rear of the cutter to ‘think’ that a pencil is still inserted. The machine will therefore no longer turn. This is to prevent over sharpening. The piece of lead may not be visible until the motor is removed from the outer casing.
