 READ INSTRUCTIONS 

•  Thoroughly read and understand these product instructions before using 

this tool. Failure to follow all warnings can result in tool damage or serious 
physical injury.

•  Keep these product instructions for future reference.

 

HEALTH AND INJURY HAZARDS!

•  This tool has high-speed, highly abrasive surfaces which can quickly cause 

severe injury. Keep fingers and hands away from moving parts when operat-
ing. Wear thick, well-fitting work gloves and keep loose clothing, sleeves, 
cords, jewelry and hair away from moving parts.

•  Hazardous dust is generated during the grinding/sanding process.  

Wear appropriate NIOSH approved respiratory protection.

•  Metal particles and dust can be ejected during the grinding/sanding process. 

Always wear ANSI approved eye and ear protection when operating this tool. 

•  Do not force tool or exert side forces on belt drive while grinding or sanding 

as the tool body can suddenly kick back or twist causing severe hand or 
wrist injury. Belts can also be torn with excessive side force causing them  
to disintegrate and eject sharp pieces at high velocity.

•  This tool will vibrate during use! Repeated exposure to vibration may  

cause physical injury.

•  Always disconnect tool from air supply when changing abrasive belts to 

prevent accidental tool starting and potential serious injury.

•  Always make sure the workpiece being sanded/ground is securely clamped 

or anchored to avoid sudden movements which could result in injury.

•  Frequently inspect belt condition. If tears or holes develop, discontinue tool 

use immediately and replace damaged belt. ONLY USE replacement belts 
rated for 16,000 RPM or greater use otherwise serious injury or death can 
result in the event of belt failure.

 

CUT HAZARD!

•  Handling sharp metal can cause cuts. Wear thick work gloves and  

long sleeves when using this tool.

 

EXPLOSION HAZARD!

•  Do not exceed 90 psi (6.3 bar) of tool inlet pressure. Permanent tool  

damage and/or explosion could occur and cause personal injury.
